We appear to be interestingly uninterested in todays big cycling story. Too common place to notice maybe?

Prediction: All things being equal and presuming the big man was not being a cock, the motorist will go unpunished. This despite the fact the driving close enough to a cyclist to clump them with your wing mirror as was apparently the case here, is self evidently at best driving without due care and attention and at worst dangerous driving.

(I am thinking about starting a stage act entitled Cyclo the Predictor, as I have notcied that I have an unerring talent for being able to forsee the outcomes of such things!)

There's a lot of comment, it's just spread across 15 threads...

It's hardly a big story, is it?

It happens, the fact that it's Wiggo doesn't make a difference, does it? What's to discuss? We don't know any of the details, and it's less personal and interesting than the ones that get posted on here every day.

Was the Astra driver heard to say "SMIDSY" upon apprehension?

...and thus the dangers of not representing our views in one voice are well demonstrated

thats also covered in at least two threads.

not sure if i err towards UTFS or mods merging relevant threads.

(to be slightly fair, some thread titles are made deliberately vague, i assume to attract attention - "Man Down _ Wiggo" - would have covered it.)
