Always known pushbikes are fucking dangerous.

Yep doesn't sound good as it sounds like his head took a very bad bang.

The car certainly looks like it took a big hit. And it's not like the helmets they wear are that great.

Not sounding very good. Poor cunt.

Why not ban the two tonne explosion powered machines that are actually causing the carnage?

Italians are supposed to be fans of cycling and to respect cyclists on the road. The Giro D'Italia is running right now for fucks sake.

To state personal shock at the news of this accident, to express support for Nicky and send best wishes is a normal reaction.

To begin to speculate on, to pass what could be called uninformed comment on the accident is just poor form.

Kia kaha, Nicky.

Did you see the crash caused by the bike cop?

And saw a photo of the car Nicky hit or was hit by and shit that was a big hit. Dont know much about the guy but that was nasty. I wish him all the best.

Fuck. I was driving down Blenheim Rd tonight on the way to the gym and I glanced over to check out the car/driver in the next lane. Tiny asian woman with her face buried in a cellphone looking DOWN at it. I did what anyone would do and eased over as close as I could to her car while gesticulating and giving her the fingers. Fucking bitch. That's the cunt that will kill me on a pushbike or a motorbike. FUUUCK

Also, I hope Nicky Hayden pulls through he got a lot of shit but he was MotoGP champ in 2006 and a good ole boy from Kentucky.

And fucking Chris Cornell died. FUCK SAKES

Sad but true.

Cassina, this thread is about a guy who is in intensive care, in an induced coma, because he was hit by a car while he was riding a pushbike. There is nothing about motorcycles, there is nothing about training courses. Your post is certainly irrelevant and may well be considered disrespectful.

Perhaps you should take OAB's hint and gracefully withdraw?

+1. There's a time to push an agenda and this is not it.

All I can say is (not knowing a thing about the guy) fingers crossed for Nicky and his family and friends. This is awful news.

In similar circumstances I'd be tempted to apply massive upward pressure to the hand brake lever too. That should get her attention.
