A motorist from Fife left a cyclist with a serious brain injury following a violent road rage incident in Edinburgh.

Joseph Hedley became involved in a confrontation with the cyclist before violently attacking him at the city’s Cowgate in September 2024.

Hedley, 39, left his vehicle and approached the innocent male, before grabbing him by the neck and violently throwing him to the ground.

The victim smashed his head off the road and suffered serious head injuries, including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.

Hedley then left the 34-year-old cyclist lying unconscious in the middle of the road as he got back into his car and drove off.

Hedley, from Kirkcaldy, subsequently found out police had put out an appeal to find the motorist involved and handed himself into a local station two days later.

He pled guilty to assault to severe injury, permanent impairment and danger of life when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

We all know how self righteous cyclists can be while themselves (as a group) pretty much always ignoring every rule of the road. On the other hand, smashing the back of a cyclists head into the road wasn't a justified move either. Remember guys, don't fight on concrete. It is that easy to kill or almost kill simply by knocking someone's head down into the tarmac.

Urban cyclists' arrogance knows no bounds in cities under liberal governance. So I guess this cyclist provoked the confrontation and he paid the price for his arrogance.

In the US car guy would have had a 2 or 3 mil to pay, in Edinburgh (edin-brow) a slap on the wrist.
