Biased?
Re: Biased?
Why are you disgusted Jim ?
It seems a pretty straight forward account. Hopefully the cyclists makes a full recovery. It neither seeks to exonerate or damn ms Piper

It's the DM, what did you expect?
Re: Biased?
Would a helmet have avoided the shoulder injury???

You should not look at the DM, and never under any circumstances read the comments!
Re: Biased?
Indeed - the more clicks they get on their website the more they will print more of the same.
Re: Biased?
I now refuse to click on any link to the aforementioned supposed news thing.
I am puzzled why other people look at it in the first place?
This is not a dig at the OP but something I have noticed with other posters. They seem to hunt for stuff to get upset about.

If you can't see it I can't be bothered explaining.
Re: Biased?
It could have been worse. At least it's clear to everyone who must take the majority of the responsibility for hitting another vehicle on the other side of the road whilst u-turning. I am at a loss as to how helmets are relevant.
Re: Biased?
The Mail on Sunday understands that the cyclist was not wearing a helmet.

It sure is and in case you still don't get it the Daily Wail spells it out for you:
"But there were also calls last night for cyclists to take greater responsibility for their actions and to ensure they wear helmets."

"cyclist who was travelling downhill at a significant speed"
That sounds like more blame placed on the cyclist too.

Unserstands? I doubt it...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Have it your way I only asked
I never thought I'd fined myself defending the Daily Mail, but except for a a couple of misplaced comments around the wearing of helmets the article is fairly balanced for a change, and even the helmet comments are balanced by the comment from London Cycling . If your only gripe are the helmet comments then why didn't you place this in the helmet sub forum. There is no rant, no blaming of the cyclists, If you read the article it does describe how the CPS has to make a decision and describes quite well the antagonism between cycling and non cycling groups.
