well this is annoying
Both equally to blame it seems, but the cyclist didn't put in a counter claim, the fool, so now he's liable to meet all the costs of the case at 100k
As a cyclist I've never run over any pedestrian, I've come close on a couple occasions but never been in any danger of hitting anyone. And I commuted in rush hour in central london for years and years.
Thing is with cycling you really have to expect pedestrians to do dumb things and you actively look out for it. This is why I avoid trouble.
Feel sorry for the guy and hope the yoga lady meets some of the costs (which I doubt, why should she?)

to add: I guess he could file a civil case now? Any lawyers out there?
( , Fri 21 Jun 2019, 13:24, Share, Reply)
Terrible headline; "up to £100,000" could be anything. Could be a fiver. I wonder where they got that figure from.
Hazledean's press release says, "Covering the costs and the compensation is going to exceed £20,000".[1] - as reported by the Metro. The judge apparently said £10,000.[2]. Still a lot, but more credible. The skeptic in me wonders if the inflated figure is a way to gain more from the crowdfunding of the amount.
What he has been ordered to pay is £4,161.79 in damages. I don't know the case details, but that does not seem unreasonable for knocking someone over, causing a facial scar, if it was demonstrated that he was responsible.
If he believes that he suffered damages that she was responsible for, he could take her to court over that, sure - but that's a totally separate issue.
Costs incurred through defence are a complicated issue. To be frank, he should've just admitted he knocked her over and paid a few grand compo. I'm basing that on the finding from the case that they "were equally culpable in this accident". He chose to contest his own responsibility in the matter, and was shown to be incorrect. His choice incurred costs, which someone has to pay.
Edit: Ah, "Ms Brushett has sought almost £100,000 in costs". Frankly, that means jack shit. You start negotiations with an arbritrarily high number, in the hope of a better (realistic) settlement. ("This bloke won't haggle!").
He'll probably end up paying 15-20K, or something like that. The crowdfunder has already raised over £12k.

Would it be the same if a car had hit her? Walking out into a road blindly staring at her mobile while the lights for traffic was green. "No but it's me and I am important and did nothing wrong."

Would be slightly different
...in that the car driver's insurance company would probably have had their own lawyers involved. Who would have said "You have no chance at all. Pay up."
If you hit someone in your car, it's pretty much 100% your fault. You're supposed to be aware of the potential that someone might cross the road, and allow yourself adequate time to brake or otherwise avoid the hazard.

Just ride off if you hit someone.
Admittedly might be a bit harder if you're knocked out, but I'd say that a potential £100k hit in the pocket is a good advert for wearing a helmet and zooming off as soon as you do something bad.

We recently installed smart lighting, and it's actually rather good!
We have it set up so that all the lights turn off when we leave the house.
We've got motion sensors in the upstairs and downstairs hall that turn on the hallway lights when movement is detected once the ambient light level drops beyond a certain point.
The upstairs light turns on when our doorbell detects movement on our driveway, and the downstairs light turns on 5 seconds after the doorbell is pressed.
The living room lights automatically dim when we begin watching a film, and brighten once the film ends.
A great deal of it is just for showing off, but it's definitely a QoL improvement.

LIFX ones seem to work well
Plus they have an API, so if you are handy with coding you can get them to alert you to all kinds of things. Obviously not much use when you just want to turn the lights on and off, but if you want to know when things are about to happen or someone is at the door, they work pretty well.
The big downside? No internet and you are stuffed for flashy effects, but they still work as normal lights.
