Idiots in cars who hate people on bikes

From the ABC News web site:

A man has been charged over a crash involving a group of elite cyclists, including Olympian Ben Kersten, in Sydney's south last week.

About 50 cyclists were riding along Southern Cross Drive at Botany last Thursday morning when they crashed into a car.

Among the group was Kate Nichols, who was injured in the 2005 accident that killed fellow rider Amy Gillett.

Kersten claimed the driver overtook them and then stopped suddenly, causing the lead riders to hit the car, before driving off.

No-one was seriously hurt but some cyclists had to be treated for cuts and bruises.

The 34-year-old Claymore man has been charged with failing to stop at a crash and give particulars.

He will face Waverley Local Court next month.

Police say they are still investigating the crash.
