A CYCLIST WAS KNOCKED off her bike whilst riding the Regents Canal towpath.
She was knocked off by another cyclist, and was tangled in his bike but claims no one helped her, Janet Friend reports.
Collided
This occurred as another cyclist riding on the wrong side of the towpath collided with her, knocking her bag into the water. She telling:
“My bag flew into the water, with my phone, work phone and house keys. The bag started filling with water, and I tried to grab it, but I was stuck under my bike.
“I was struggling to move; I was tangled up. I am lying on the ground, luckily having escaped falling into the water and losing my bike to the canal.
“And not one person got off their bike to help me. No help getting the bike off me, no help getting me off the floor, no help with my bag… no help assessing I have a broken arm or leg.
“I had to push my bike off me, get into my knees, get up, pick the bike off, and limp to the end of the underpass. Bleeding hand, hurt foot, scraped shin, dropped chain, and soaking bag”
