[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1222602, member: 73144"] We all agree the cyclist shouldn’t have done what he did and [USER=55969]@Saintjay[/USER] you are of course quite right to say that it was common assault. For clarity [USER=72977]@Reiser99[/USER] she wasn’t pushed “over”. As a paid up MAMIL who rides in the countryside I genuinely despair at what I see from city cyclists, many of whom are plain moronic. Nonetheless [USER=55969]@Saintjay[/USER] I can’t just assume the cyclist was at fault, as loads of pedestrians regularly go for gaps that aren’t really there or have their noses stuck in their phones. I’ve seen any number of near misses where this happened. He may well have been at fault but we don’t know and he clearly strongly didn’t think so. So having agreed that the shove was wrong, what I was wondering is what should he have done instead to state his case when the woman clearly wasn’t going to engage? [/QUOTE]
