Husband, David Porrett said: “I am struggling to believe the cold, callous way this cyclist behaved leaving my wife badly injured in the road. This incident was totally avoidable if this cyclist had been cycling in a sensible and considerate way.”

Thames Valley Police confirmed the cyclist did not stop and the pedestrian was taken to hospital, but has since been discharged.

An investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information to contact police by calling 101 or making a report online quoting reference 43200276955.
