Happened to me only a few weeks ago too! As I've said, I am 5ft 1 and
look like a young girl when in my kit. Sick idiot came and kicked me
for not using the poor excuse for a cycle track.

Is there any followup to that story? Have the police caught anyone?

Well, I had to look for images that looked like the car and they have
circulated those around the local police. Got the standard letter with
the crime number etc.. All a case of waiting now. No further kicks
since then.

You got *kicked* by someone driving a car? I have heard of someone getting
*punched* by the passenger of a vehicle while cycling but not kicked!

Well, no, the driver got out and kicked her. The scumbag.
Or as the media would report it, a cyclist was in a kicking with a car.

Well, best wishes. I hope it has not affected your self confidence when
cycling by yourself. It was a *shocking* thing to happen.

It would take a pretty determined motorist to go to the trouble of parking
up, getting out and kicking a cyclist! If the road was narrow he would
block other fellow motorists and incur *their* wrath, and if the road was
wide he would have to be quick on his feet to kick a passing cyclist.

I would dispute that they have got worse. I would say the risk of
random unprovoked attacks like this is low. Other than peripheral
housing schemes between 9pm and midnight at weekends the risk is close
to zero. There are plenty places I wouldn't care to walk through at
certain times of night but any risk is no worse for cyclists than
pedestrians. Cyclist may be at less risk as they travel past any
problem areas quickly.. This story made the news because it was
unusual.

No. The evil, lycra clad, unhelmeted, non road tax paying cyclist
crashed into the foot of the poor, put upon, hard done by, taxed to
the hilt, salt of the earth, fine upstanding motorist.

What can I say? The guy even turned off of the main road to park then
wandered into the road to meet me face to face. Can only assume this
was a man with other issues in his life! Maybe his abusive mother was
a five foot female cyclist as well.

I've had a motorist who went to the bother of pulling into a
cul-de-sac, turning, then waiting for me to pass in order to
deliberately drive straight at me, tyres smoking.
Some motorists are psychopaths.

No more determined than the motorists you often see getting out of
their cars to "have a word" with another car driver. They don't have
to go to the trouble of "parking up". I see them doing it while
waiting at red traffic lights.
