Cyclist had survived murder attempt

A cyclist who died after he collided with a taxi had previously survived a murder bid, it emerged today.

Bryan Simons, 40, was killed in the road accident on Monday, just days after the woman who tried to murder him was jailed.

Father-of-five Mr Simons, Edinburgh, was at Glasgow High Court when Mikita Thompson, 26, was jailed for stabbing him and puncturing his lung in a row about a stolen purse.
