Also, I hope he was wearing a helmet.... Maybe we should be wearing rib helmets in the future0

Can you retweet his earlier tweets to him?0 -

if there is any silver lining about Bradders accident, its that the Sun absolutely loves him - if they can take on at least a little of raising awareness of cyclists on the road, the Sun is read by evey WVM in the country. And with Bradders popularity at the moment, maybe even some of those d*ckheads might take it in a little0

The star was on a ride followed by his support team. He was sent flying by the impact and his pals raced to his aid.
A source said: “They were following him in a van and they helped him out after the crash."

Yeah, that's not just any old scumbag cyclist you've knocked over, that's a famous person. We can't just ignore this like we usually would, we're going to have to fill in reams of paper work now!Daily Mail wrote:Driver 'upset' as police say: 'Do you know who you have hit?'0 -

Notice in the corner of one of the photos of the wing mirror debris that there's a fag butt...
The Mail have missed a trick there...0 -
Hope they've shot the insert films for SPOTY - that'll be tedious for him with smashed ribs. As RR said, and perhaps by the time SPOTY's broadcast, there'll be some decent media coverage of road safety for cyclists and driving standards (especially now there's a few colomn inches freed up after the US elections) that moves the conversation on from the usual polarised stances (opposite to what Twitter, etc, sometimes seems to do).0

Having my ribs broken by a car turning into a petrol station is probably the only thing mine and Wiggin's season have in common...
I note Mrs. Wiggins sense of humour bypass was a complete success."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Why would it. It'll be forgotten in a few hours outside of forums like this.OCDuPalais wrote:Hope they've shot the insert films for SPOTY - that'll be tedious for him with smashed ribs.

This probably belongs in commuting. I travel about 10 miles across London each day, Stoke Newington to Wandsworth for those that know London. Some days by bike, some by car. I witness the most appalling cycling and driving, and the quality of the typical Boris Biker is beyond understandable. I don't deny I have my moments too. The problem is the whole share the road thing, it just doesn't work. The biggest surprise for me is that more cyclists are not killed. It seems to me sides have already been taken and I don't see any solution beyond we just go along as we do now.0 -
In my unending fight with the Daily Mail readers - I have posted the following in the paper's comments.
"The problem with many car drivers - is I see them jump red lights - drive up on pavements and in bus lanes and have music blaring out of their car stereo (when they are already in a bublle that excludes most of the road noise). They weave in and out of one traffic jam to the next without due car and attention for other drivers and road users - they kill and get killed far too often.
Given that car drivers die the most frequently I feel there should be a law forcing them to wear crash helmets in the car - this will also have an added benefit of saving people who "forget" to put their seatbelts on from being killed when they go through a windscreen.
Also as a top rate tax payer - I am paying for all these roads (as every idiot knows that VED (read Road Tax if you are an ultra moron) does not pay for the road infrastructure. Therefore I suggest that unless you are a high rate tax payer you should not be allowed to drive on the road".

"He said he thought he had broken his ribs and while a lot of police cars arrived it was about 15 minutes before the ambulance got there by which time he was blue."
Sky: never to miss a branding opportunity.
I'm glad he's OK.0 -

Lets hope so. Although expecting the Sun to take up cyclists safety is a long shot.
Oh and they love 'Bradders' at the moment.0 -

Really - your husband and father of your children is hospitalised and you have a sense of humour bypass? I've been involved in a situation where someone was hospitalised and twitter is very quick to spread falsehoods and wrong information.http://www.georgesfoundation.org

Are you sure it is not just a way for him to get out of book signings?0

Talking of the book...I picked it up this morning. Quick flick through - his take on Mr Froome during the Tour is verrrrry interesting....0

Jeremy 'Feckwit' Vine on Radio 2 has just said, "The driver of the van wasn't arrested, so are we to assume from that that Wiggins was at fault?"
Ignorant ba$tard! Drivers don't get arrested at the scene of an accident unless it's on suspicion of causing death/drink-driving or something similarly serious.0 -
