You cannot make this stuff up.

"A cyclist was taken to hospital after being knocked off his bike.
One eyewitness claimed the cyclist had "crashed into the pedestrian on a
zebra crossing" while cars had stopped."

No mention, thankfully, of any injury to the pedestrian.

I really can't see what this cyclist has done wrong. We all know that zebra
crossing do not apply to cyclists, he could have just jumped onto the
footpath to avoid stopping. This is allowed.
Bloody stupid pedestrian expecting a cyclist to stop when he was on a zebra
crossing. Some people!

"One eyewitness claimed", so no actual proof.
Obviously the pedestrian was wearing a helmet.

That was a very stupid reply. We all know that you are not very bright.
I've asked you before and I'll ask you again.
You come across as gay. Are you? If you are, I don't care.

As I have said before, I do not wish to appear in your perverted fantasies about cyclists and their legs.

I see.
I think that we all know the answer to my question.
