Ben has had an unfortunate run in on the bike path and has sent in the picture and the tale:
You can see there was a big crop of weeds blocking the path, so he came out around the corner from the Barton Hwy underpass on the wrong side. I tried dodging to the left, but there wasn’t enough time. We collected shoulders and I fell into the weeds on the LHS of the photo. The guy walking away from the photo was the other victim.
I suggested we swap details after I took the photos, but he said he was uncomfortable doing that. I pushed it further, but he declined and rode off. At that point I noticed my frame was bent, and rode after him. I caught up with him to mention the frame, and he said he had no gears. I wasn’t getting his details and that was “his prerogative”. At that point I turned and rode back to the accident site to call the police – which was useless as they couldn’t do anything without his identity.
