HI y'all I recently attended an accident in Surry Hills (about 2min after the event) where a car drove into a cyclist/ courier friend of mine. My friend was crossing over Albion St on Commonwealth,…Continue

Just a headsup. I've read about this exact thing on this site before. "It'll never be me" he thinks since he is a cautious rider, is aware of the risk, looks in car mirrors etc etc.Well let me tell…Continue

Ant Edwards replied to Andrew's discussion Decent penalty handed out to driver who killed a cyclist"I think a related wider issue is the dependence of 13-25 year olds on constantly communicating with their friends. Walking through shops, and obviously frequently seen while driving, this demographic cannot stop themselves from consuming social…"
Ant Edwards commented on DamianM's group Coffee Appreciation Society"I stop sometimes at Bourke St Bakery, usually if I am looping for a while at C Park in the morning and want some lunch. But question is, does anyone know if there are plans to put a bike rack on the newly widened area of path outside the cafe?"
Ant Edwards replied to Steve D's discussion Save me from showing up at my bike shop red faced..."Hi Steve. As one continues to pedal suddenly after a chain is off, it can get caught in awkward places and get damaged. Inspect the chain link by link looking for bends or deformed plates. That will cause the chain to jump and skip, as the damaged…"
Jason B replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"Wow. That is extremely poor. The very least they should do is collect and retain statements for all parties involved in a reported accident, and I agree they should really be issuing infringement notices when people infringe to the…"
yogi replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"This sort of incident will be trouble for many. The moment the 'ball' is dropped the insurance company will say 'not our fault' strictly because not enough paperwork will be done.I can not help but think laws are made to adhere…"
SteveBr replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"This is tough.
I learnt my lesson after my first accident where the driver changed his story for the insurance company.
The second one, I took note of witnesses and made a formal complaint to the police, got an incident number and followed up on the…"
Jonathon Troy replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"I have heard that insurers will usually go after each other onn a bang for bang basis in some accidents. If your friend has BNSW membership they do have insurance through cyclecover, who may go after the driver to recoup the payout."
Jason B replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"If the driver made a correct statement to police (ie told them she wasn't looking where she was going), then surely the rider can access that statement and supply it to the insurance company ?

Ant Edwards replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"My friend just started with Mailcall a week ago - what a way to notch your stock! He should be back this week."
Ant Edwards replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"Yeah I agree. I am a medico and I spent the next few h with him. Also got a GP check up a couple o days later. All things ok."
Paul replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"See, I don't get this. You run over someone, but because they are not injured and nobody got towed, they just walk away from it. However, do 5km/h over the speed limit and they come down on you like a tonne of bricks.
Surely running…"
Martin Geliot replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"'hit head' is a good reason to get checked out"
Doddsy replied to Ant Edwards's discussion Did the Police make an error at this accident?"Need to get the drivers details and make sure the police have a record of the incident, just in case.
Injury often sets in hours after the Adrenaline fades.

- Undulating road out to West Head lookout is freshly tarred with the smoothest black stuff you will ever see. What a way to get 40km under the belt. And the view at the end is magic. Highly recommended (check they're not doing fire burn off the day you want to go - very smoky)
