It all happened before my eyes, too quick even. I had a morning off work and decided to ride up Kinglake for a sausage roll and a coffee....why not, its a good ride. I left home and headed over toward Diamond Creek. About 500 meters up the road i saw some other riders come out of a side street, and hammer off into the distance. I sprinted to catch on, as I was going solo, but couldnt bridge the gap. I watched the lights turn red, slowly braked while these riders sprinted to get through. One of the riders knocked down a lady trying to walk accross the road (she had a green walking man). The lady fell back and smacked her head open. I quickly pulled up to see if she was alright, but not moving and in alot of pain. Jumped on the phone to call ambulance etc....other people came over and looked after her, and re-directed traffic etc. Ambulance and Police came, and the lady was taken away.
Sad thing is, when the police asked people for statements, I was the one pointed to as the cyclist that hit the lady. All because I stopped and helped....and happened to be riding my bike. Lucky police "sort-of" believed my story and went after the 'hit and run ' riders.
So there you have it, a hit and run by a cyclist........not good for our reputation.
