Following on from Dave's comment on the Simon Richardson thread about Disability Sport Wales' comment that, "This happens very often in cycling."
(given I thought this might spark a debate I thought a new thread, rather than it taking place over there, might be better).
That particular quote appears to have gone from their press release now, but there is this, "Gerwyn Owen, of Disability Sport Wales, said the incident highlighted the need for everybody to look after cyclists on the road and for cyclists to take care themselves."
Again we don't know the circumstances, but the release itself refers to a driver having been arrested (not just helping with enquiries, actually arrested), so just how does that highlight the need for cyclists to take care themselves? Are they suggesting that Simon was somehow partly to blame? (perhaps he was, we don't know the story, but again, the driver has been arrested).
