THE wife of Tour de France champ Cadel Evans has hit out at spin king Shane Warne after an ugly road rage spat with a cyclist yesterday.

Chiara Passerini said she would be terrified of meeting Warne while riding a bike after the cricket legend allegedly abused and attacked a cyclist."I would be very scared of meeting someone like @warne888 during a bike ride. His hate towards cyclists is worrying. Glad I only ride a little!'' she posted on Twitter.Earlier, a man claiming to be the cyclist at the centre of the ordeal said Warne deliberately drove into his back after an altercation last night.The man, who detailed his version of events in a letter sent to the Herald Sun, said the attack left him unable to ride his bike.

I take it the cyclist wasn't keeping up with the flow of traffic.

Apparently the cyclist in question decided to get a tow from Warnie, then punched his bonnet to say thanks.

I'd be a bit pissed too...

I don't really care if they pay rego or not, it would be nice if they'd follow the road rules though... I narrowly avoid being cleaned up at least once a week by a cyclist running a red light in the CBD...

I'm sure Warnie gives a stuff about what some TDF's sperm recipricant has to say about him.

^ This appears to be the most likely course of events.

Its been a while since Warnie bowled anything over. (Que Richie Benaud 'He's gone, he's gott'im' crash of the century)

[Old frt]

He clearly didn't pick Warnies wrong un.
Why do the media peddle this crap?

[fredie]

its warnie . its melbourne . bicycle sales out sold cars again last year
the citys are changing
maybe warnies on the drugs again

Analysis of Shane Warne's positive drug test indicates that the Australian cricket star must have taken more than one banned diuretic tablet. This contradicts statements by Warne, 33, that he took just one Moduretic tablet, supplied by his mother, Brigitte, in the days leading up to his January 22 media conference at which he announced his retirement from one-day cricket.

I sympathize with cyclists. I'm not much of a cyclist myself, I'm more of a jogger. I find the footpaths not to be of adequate standard for me, too many slowpokes with prams and amateur joggers. So most of the time I like to jog on the road because it feels nicer on my feet.

Then the people in cars who think they own the road tailgate me, then I yell "hey! You don't own the road! Stop tailgating me!" then I just ignore them and continue jogging in the middle of my own lane.

Shane Warne is a bowler because Batsmen must be able to Drive. As he is an adulterer I would guess he is quite selective when it comes time for the Facts to be told.
Bicycles have every right to use the road and I doubt they do anything worse than a large portion of motorcycle riders. 20000 speeders in a couple of days on the freeway suggests cars a quite indifferent to the laws as well, so perhaps we shouldn't be casting stones.

Dude, you are supposed to face the traffic when you a pedestrian on the road.

Shouldnt our greatest spin bowler be allowed to run over whoever he wants?

Rego for pushies, srs? I suppose they cause a lot of damage to the roads when the wheels grind them into the bitumen.

Dont get me wrong I love a good rant about the peletons (or whatever) that I encounter running red lights and riding up to five abreast along the coastal roads on the weekends when we are going to the beach and even split a couple of cyclists on Mounts bay road one day who were creating a traffic snarl with a million dollar bike path unoccupied just to their left.

To wrap up up, most cyclists do the right thing so lets legislate for the minority again and piss everyone off.
