Peugeot 306 HDi
I was cycling to work this morning, came off a cycle path onto the road where the path ran out and along the side of a loooooong queue of traffic next to a school when suddenly there is a door in front of me and my arm and bike are connecting with it. One severely bruised arm, a mildly damaged bike and a bent door later...
It was a red Clio II Ph I and the driver it seems had told his daughter to get out as traffic stopped-started forward and so she opened her door without looking right in front of me. I only realised it had happened as I came to a stop. He had to use his foot to shut the door, my Tee has a layer of red paint and he has bent metal work, that's how hard I hit it.
Fortunately he was a good bloke and he checked I was OK and everything. Felt so guilty, but then I'm pretty sure it's his daughter's fault and not mine anyway (though she was only about 11 and really upset).
Clio owners eh?
