Cricket legend Shane Warne says irresponsible cyclists think they own the road after a run-in with a bike rider on his way home from the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
"I think what disappoints a lot of people is the attitude of the bike rider. They don't own the road," Warne said before training with his Melbourne Stars Big Bash cricket team yesterday. "My main concern is the attitude of the bike riders; just respect everyone on the road."
But the cyclist involved in the incident with Warne had a different view, claiming the cricketer drove into his bike and damaged it so badly he couldn't ride home.
The cyclist wants to remain anonymous, but told cyclingtipsblog.com he carried his bike to the police station to report the run-in and said he wanted Warne to pay for the cost of its repair.
He denied Warne's claim that he thumped his car and said it was the cricketer who was aggressive.
