    I am actually a bike rider....but I don't understand the above prang or the 2 I have had happen to me in the past. I was driving my brothers XC Van, I pulled up at a T section and felt / heard this bang bang. It was a bike rider ploughing up me rear. The wheel must have made the first bang, the helmet must have made the second. I kid you not I pulled up at the lights after the T and bang bang, another bike rider does the exact same thing.

    I used to ride bikes too, mostly its the rider not paying attention to the car infront braking and not stopping in time or at all...or the car just slamsbrakes on for whateva reason n the rider doesnt react quick enough to evade to the side. Either way its ****ed

    This could be partly to blame with bike riders sitting far too closely to other cars, its not just bikes that do it, and its the one main thing htat shits me about driving - tail gaters.

    If the rider doesn't have enough time to react then the rider is traveling far to close.

    Excuse my blatant ignorance, but are we talking about push bikes or motor bikes here?
