“ive just been sat here at work reading all these comments and i can see it from quite a few peoples ponts of view i do think that it wasnt as straight cut as this gentleman was attacked out of the blue he obviously got angry himself and kicked the car and this time kicked the wrong car but if maybe if the car he would have kicked was a decent person like a few people on here i probably would of hurled abit of abuse and drove off but thats the risk of loosing your temper with young people in nottingham these days
i wish him all the look and hope he has a speedy recovery and that the attacker is caught and prosecuted”

“nicely said Dave from notts , i could not have put it better myself some people just dont under stand what it is like”

“I'm A Motor Biker and a Car Driver and have been most of my life .Whilst riding my good Old 1954 BSA A7 I have had to on many occasion push my self away (using my boot) from cars that have come straight out of filter lanes and side roads. I have never intentionaly kicked out to cause damage. I've just ensured that a good push keeps my me and my bike away from disaster and not finishing up under the car.
As ive said i drive a car as well as ride a bike and its my opinion and experience that when a car and bike is involved in an accident its mostly the car drivers fault because they didnt see the bike, even with the head light on full .
Bikes or smaller and harder to see and bikers are more vulnerable.
So car drivers everywhere think bike , your dinner will keep warm until you get home, a dead biker wont .”

“Graham!!!

And we all know papers never print what you actually tell them dont we..............”

“cyclist was lucky that day. the attacker is a complete pyschopath who should be locked back up behind bars because one day someone won't be so lucky....nutter!!!”

“It says he ''accidentally kicked'' the car!!! He sounds like the unfortunate victim of a pair of lunatics.”

“So KH what you've basically admitted is Mark was lying as he didn't accidentally kick anyones car, he lashed out in anger.
Again, I'm not saying what happened was justice but you can't go round booting peoples car and not expect a back lash.”

“Lol, I don't believe it!! after my comment early i went to collect my shopping and my children from school, turned down a local one way street with cars parked either side, to be confronted by a lady cyclist peddling her way up the street the wrong way! I POLITELY waited for her to come through and she stopped at the side of the car to thank me, i just smiled and shook my head! I didn't jump out the car and beat her or shout abuse and bad language at her, although i was stunned, then i promptly left to collect my children. And i have to say KH i do agree with you about drivers not "seeing" cyclistists or motorbikes. My hubby is a biker and some of the stories he's told me of little old ladies in corsa's and with dogs has opened my eyes, but fingers crossed and thankfully he remains intact and upon his bike. Hope he feels better soon.”

“Matt - your attitude helps no-one!”

“to be honest if a cyclist had kicked my car i would of caught up with him and kicked his head in....i think getting a Machette out was a bit over the top but i can see how having your car kicked by some geek on a bike would enrage you to the point of wanting to do some serious damage... the cyclist caused criminal damage by kicking the car so i'd call that little scuffle 50/50 and charge them both or let them both off..
and if your scared of getting run into while cycling then either stick more to the edge of the road or only cycle on designated cycle paths which are everywhere.....
i hope the cyclist gets charged with criminal damage”
