Cyclist kicked off bike in Hackney

Post by Rutabaga » 5 years ago

A horrible incident, and the victim is badly injured. I wonder what was going on?

The BBC had it billed as 'kicked off by a fellow cyclist'. I note that they don't refer to hit and run crashes being down to fellow drivers.

In this case nobody currently knows what lead up to this incident, and I am not going to speculate, as I am sure many others are in other places.

I normally tune off at arguments about how the press talks about cyclists who commit crimes.

But "fellow" is bad. It suggests it's somehow not a real crime. That's not good.

Thanks for reporting this @Rutabaga
