Well he drove off from the scene of an accident. Criminal Offence just for that. Looking at the photo I am sure that there should be video footage showing the incident.

Best advice I can give for the future, is get yourself a helmet camera and maybe a rear one two. If you have head then this is your evidence and will make it so much easier to put your side of the story, and no more of your word against theirs.

Maybe contact CTC solicitors too.

Altura for me too, apart from their gloves.

I have a transformer jacket. It's wind proof and breathable. The best thing is that you can take the arms off if you get too hot.

Isn't this whole business of having regular Police Officers hand out fines for minor infringements like using a mobile phone while driving or speeding utterly bonkers? In other countries non-arrestable offences are in large part dealt with by people other than regular Police Officers at much cheaper cost, like dedicated road traffic police or municipal law enforcement officers.

Driving and using a phone a minor infringement?

You are joking right. I hope it becomes as socially unacceptable as drink driving as research suggests that is much more dangerous.

Hopefully in the future it will be a driving ban just like drink driving and an arrest.

I was looking for a bar extender for my bike light.

On looking I found these new innovative new products. Don't need to clamp onto your handlebars, it actually fits onto your stem.

But not just any stem mount it has a novel feature that it attaches to your stem bolts. I think this is a really novel way to attach extra lights, computers without taking up your bar space.

I think they are pretty good.

So going at 5mph is essentially a cycle ban.
You might as well walk next to your bike.

There should be a mass protest of everyone running next to their bikes.

Going faster than 5mph but not actually cycling.

Number plates for cyclists....

I'm going to get bingo soon!

@Muhammad_Muneer: @LBC @clivebull put number plates on those things.
And get them insured, so next time when they hit your car, you can sue them for damages

When you get comments like this......

@T50red: @LBC @clivebull it should be legal for pedestrians to push cyclists over if they ride on the pavement or don't stop at zebra crossings


There is no hope........

Cyclists going too fast down hill.........

Red lights, iPods

I'm afraid to say that the CTC is not really putting his points across very well or doing well with the answers.

I also think that he admitted that he was not in CTC for very long.

Oh CTC are on the show now

Get you cyclist bingo card at the ready..........

I understand that this cyclist was stopped in a London park for going to fast.

Wait for it to talk about speeding cyclists on the roads.

I've had people complain to me about speeding cyclists on the road. I always ask what was the speed limit. 30, we'll have you tried going 30 mph on a bike.

No not sweating, the rain was that hard I could feel the water leaking in by the fingers.

I had my jacket cuffs over the top of the gloves, so now water got in that way.
