Bazoaxe Apr 2021 3:13pm, 13 Apr 2021 19,464 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe The report I read last night (forget which paper/website) stated the cyclist collided with a van. This is something I have read a lot when cycling accidents are reported and which I think is a compete misrepresentation of what is likely to have happened. All three of my very near misses on the bike have been due to drivers not paying proper attention. I have had countless occassions of a very close pass as well
Dvorak Apr 2021 3:20pm, 13 Apr 2021 22,269 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak That was the Daily Record and I noted that too Bazo. As you say, it is much more frequent that the motorised vehicle collides with the cyclist. Met Chris a few times at various races and ran in his Melrose races. Very sad situation.
