[bikeqld] reported crash this morning

[Michael Fanning]

Hello Michael,

Not sure if this is the one you are asking about, but I witnessed  
something at around 0840 near the old Media Credit Union on Benson St,  
just before the Archer St crossing. A young male was racing at  
breakneck speed, weaving around pedestrians and light poles along the  
Benson St section of the shared pathway until he came up on an  
inexperienced looking  lycra cyclist who was negotiating the bend just  
before the Archer St crossing. There was a cyclist coming from the  
city direction and the inbound cyclist attempted to go left to let him  
through, but was thwarted by the aforementioned youth who tried to  
pass him on the left at speed. This guy was out of control and it  
wouldn't surprise me if he caused something at Kayes Rocks as well.  
Seconds before the prang, I watched this fellow scatter two  
pedestrians who were in his way.

Mick
