Hammond and his wife Mindy helped cyclist Adam Gellatly, 19, when he smashed into a tree at 35mph and was thrown onto the road outside the couple’s home in Redmarley, Gloucestershire, last week.
Hammond later wrote about his encounter with Adam in his column in the Daily Mirror, in which he blasted motorists for their “selfish” attitude towards cyclists.
“I felt much aggrieved on his part and found myself siding with the cyclist against the lunatic motorists wallowing in their air-conditioned luxury, while brave cyclists battled through the elements and tried to avoid getting felled by stray trees,” he wrote.

Holly crap. The only thing I know about top gear is the presenter that everyone talks about who is a selfish cyclist hating git. Obviously not this guy.
Richard Hammond is the younger, shorter one who helped the bikie. The old git with a need for speed and the mouth is Jeremy Clarkson.
