Very sad. Sounds like another situation where a driver simply did not see a cyclist or wasn't paying attention.

An update from NSW Police facebook page:

having ridden that section of mona vale road countless times, you're moving pretty quick there - it's downhill and you can freewheel to over 50kmh fairly easily.
Must admit that I'm normally wary of the motorists coming out of the side streets, but not those doing right hand turns into those side streets (ie; cutting across your path)
Could well be yet another situation of a driver underestimating the speed of an oncoming cyclist?
I find it very common here that cars will pull out rather than wait for you to go past no matter what speed you're doing. Plenty of near misses...

What exactly was the hassle?

Just looked like someone having a look at the rider as their car passed by at a reasonably safe distance.

would assume the passenger calls something out? (I don't have sound access - work 'puter)

This one didn't even have a reason for hitting the cyclist !

You can't actually hear what he's saying... but I suppose the person who filmed and posted heard what was being said.

Young? Tick
Blonde? Tick
Moderately attractive? Tick

Obviously expecting to get away with it by pleading guilty early.

6 month licence suspension and 50 hours community service, okay I am treating her really harshly here by normal standards !

Finally!

A more conventional weapon used against cyclists, one you might have a better chance of surviving: .22" projectile versus a two-tonne projectile.

Bad timing, obviously someone didn't want him witnessing something. Probably drugs to take a wild guess ! I hope they catch the basket.

It's quite disturbing because it's a really lovely area to cycle, and the amount of effort gone into making it a cycle friendly location (for Australia) is excellent.

Or ice rage. My favourite part is at the end where the bogan thinks it's all ok because his kick missed

The bar has been reset. This hits close to home as I know this girl. She's a great kid (for the record, she's going to be ok) and I regularly rode on the same roads when I lived in Perth.
