Canal Lock (copyright Simon MacMichael)Cyclist pushed into canal – by gang who filmed it happening
The sister of a cyclist who was pushed into a canal near Bradford is urging people on social media to “share the hell” out of footage of the incident.
The Telegraph and Argus – without posting a link to the original entry on Facebook – said that the assault on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal happened on Monday afternoon near Bingly, and that there had been a “devastating effect” on the victim, reports the Telegraph and Argus.
In the Facebook post, the victim’s sister said: “My sister was cycling along the towpath back from Five Rise Locks, Bingley, around 3.30pm on Monday, when this young CRETIN who was on foot (must have only been around 15/16 years of age) pushed her into the canal along with her bike and her bag full of personal belongings.
"Her bag is still at the bottom of the canal,” she continued.
"As you can imagine this has had a devastating effect on her and her everyday living, of which it will take quite a while to recover.
"The police have been informed, but until then, PLEASE can you share this post as this poor excuse for a Human Being needs to be caught fast and locked up.”
She added: "He also videoed her whilst he pushed her in, so I imagine this will be on social media." "PLEASE SHARE THE HELL OUT OF THIS!😡😡😡."

Gosh - it was true all along....
That Cllr who talks about Lycra sensitivity etc - I wonder which party he represents? I could look him up but I can't be bothered to confirm my own...
The frustrating thing is all a judicial review can do is point out where they went wrong and ask them to retake the decision. Entrenched councils...
Yes, I wave and give the thumbs up but I just don't understand how you can write such a bloody essay on the subject! if a fellow rider acknowledges...
Nice try, but meteorologically, spring begins on 1st March, which is in just over 3 weeks! (Weather is more important than when the equinox might be).
Good find.
Shimano got it way wrong with the Sora thumb shifter and I'm glad they ditched it but Campagnolo got it right for me and I'll miss it. I loved...
Had it forced on me with the update today. It is rubbish on crowded narrow courses in just ride mode, like Dunoon, you can't actually ride around...
The leg injuries error is simply inadequate matching of cases to controls....
I think fatter lower pressure tyres absorb more.
