Subject: RE: BS: Damned cyclists
A few years ago a chap was killed on the Cromer Road, near St Faiths. He was on his bike, no lights and in black/dark clothing. He lived in a village near to our old one, and was a convicted drug dealer. The poor lad who knocked him over couldn't possibly have seen him. There are no lights on that road. He just felt a bump, and stopped his car to investigate.
The Police were supportive of the motorist, but the poor chap (our friends' son) was traumatised, and sat in our local pub trembling with shock.
We all knew the deceased, and although he was a total waste of space I'm afraid, it was still a terrible end to his life.

Nowadays, we still see unlit bicycles, invisible cyclists wearing dark clothing and bikers wobbling around in front of our car. It gives us the shivers.
