You did not touch the car ( from your post). So the car will need to claim off the cyclist who will in turn need to claim off you. Be interesting to see if the cyclist has insurance or legal cover (I do when I cycle). Probably not, so the cyclist is going to have to get some legal advice and they'll probably get an ambulance chaser suggesting they claim for injuries and emotional banjnangles.
My take on it? 50-50 blame, you'll both claim off each other but the total claim will be quite high with your broken wrist and bike mechanicing, his bike and bruising, plus the grand or so to repair the poor innocent's car who had nothing to do with it.
Can the car driver claim off the MIB fund if the cyclist is uninsured?
Interesting scenario, be good to hear the outcome and everything i have said is from someone with no qualifications, experience or good looks.
