I saw a reference to this in the Singlespeed/Fixed forum, but I think it applies more to commuters than anyone else. IMHO, an excellent use of the English language.

That story would've been really funny, had it not hit a bit too close to home. The same thing happened to me just a few hours ago but unfortunately, while I hadn't hauled myself completely off the ground, the driver had already taken off

Them English dudes and they're mastery of the English language. When will they stop throwing it in our face?

Hit and run! I hope you reported it. You never know when a jackass like that will get pulled over for a traffic violation, and then get identified as a hit and run driver.
