Incident type: Motor vehicle
A slow brunch cycle along pathway when hit by driver going way too fast out of an apartment complex driveway, looking to their right for a gap in traffic to enter the road.
Unfortunately they were also in an unfamiliar car, a borrowed 2-seater sports car, no shoes on and unrestrained dog in the front with them and a passenger.
The matter is with the authorities, injuries of concussion and lots of soft-tissue issues.
East bound on Crawford Rd. approaching 377
White Chevy Plate: VHR 0842 passed in a no passing zone seconds before reaching both the elevated railroad tracks and 377 intersection.
The road leading is on a right hand curve where the railroad tracks are elevated reducing visibility.
The Chevy passed within 3 feet of me (the cyclist) in the no passing zone.
Both the car and myself on the bicycle went over the railroad track nearly at the same time.
The vehicle stayed straight, no signal indicators on.
I pulled next to the car and as I was stopping, the car lunged to the right hitting me.
Car passes me while I’m cycling in bus lane and then left hooks.
filmed on the national road, a truck neither slowed down nor gave the necessary safety distance. You can see others givong plenty of space sรณ why dos not the Renault? As a result of the footage, a police complaint was filed. the same will be fined, the security agent assured me.
On 24 September 2024, at approximately 8:14 AM, I was involved in a minor collision at the intersection of Hatton Garden and St Cross Street in London. As I was cycling along Hatton Garden, a black KIA (license plate LN74VZA) suddenly pulled out from St Cross Street on my left-hand side. The driver failed to give way and continued into my path, leaving me with insufficient time to come to a complete stop despite my attempts to brake. Consequently, my front tyre made contact with the car’s rear right wheel.
It’s worth noting that while the road conditions were wet, it was not raining at the time of the incident. This likely increased my braking distance.
Fortunately, the outcome was not severe. I sustained no apparent injuries, and a preliminary check of my bicycle showed no visible damage, although I plan to have it thoroughly inspected. The driver did stop after the incident, and we had a brief conversation.
While this incident resulted in no significant harm or damage, it’s important to emphasise that the potential for a more serious outcome was present.
A range rover decided he was going to get ahead of my buddy irrespective of the rules of the road. He squeezed my teammate against the curb and then when my teammate moved into the road to avoid an old drain pipe and make a right turn, the range rover rolled over his rear wheel knocking him down. Fortunately, there were no injuries and the police showed up and took a report from all three of us.
Attempted a 60 km ride to honour Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, but irony struck when I got doored near the end of my ride by a driver who didn’t even check his mirror. ๐๐ฅ
