The driver clearly shows no intention to slow down or stop, despite the cyclist coming from its right – and the cycling club is now appealing for potential witnesses after contacting the police.
The club has since said the cyclist, who is a member of the club, is okay and has ‘a few cuts and bruises’.
The incident happened when he was commuting to work.
