    Man, that sounds rough. I hope you’re okay now. I suppose the rider got away?

    Those delivery riders with their often illegal e-bikes are a scourge. They’re like that in London too. I’ve seen them on pavements with their throttle modded bikes, even though we have both a bus lane and a cycle lane.

      Oh yeah he got away and wasn’t identified

      I’m fine now, it was a few years ago. I just have an ugly scar I’m a bit self conscious about

          It was certainly annoying. I contacted JustEat to try to find out who did it, but I couldn’t get any information from them

          Thankfully I live in rural Northumberland and only occasionally travel down to Newcastle or up to Berwick or Edinburgh, so I don’t see them much.

          I’m not even sure you can use any of the delivery apps here. Just old fashioned ringing up and asking for a delivery

            Another reason not to use them then - not like I really needed any. I’d sooner go direct.
