Mr Hockley, 29, a chef from Norwich, claimed he had ‘a miraculous escape’ after being clipped by her car on Sunday. He was taking part in the 100-mile Boudicca Sportive road riding event when the incident happened five miles from the finish line at Snetterton, near Norwich.
He said: ‘A car came tearing round the blind corner and narrowly missed a cyclist in front of me. She came on to my side of the road, I took the wing mirror off and I went flying off my bike into a hedge.
She hit me really hard. I am lucky to be alive. But I managed to get out of the hedge and stand up.
‘The car was nowhere to be seen. She hit me, and she was gone. All I know is that it was a blonde girl driving.
When are people going to learn that one - you shouldn't hit people on bicycles, two - if you do, DO NOT tweet it!
