Bicycle accidents

A bicycle accident, an incident in which a bicycle ride goes wrong, can result in injury[?] to the rider or another person in their path, and damage to the bicycle or nearby things. In 1842, an accident occurred which has been described as the earliest bicycle accident. Kirkpatrick McMillan[?], the inventor of the velocipede[?] (an early bicycle), rode his new invention for 40 miles from his home to Glasgow. On his approach to the city, crowds gathered on the road and unfortunately Kirkpatrick collided with a young girl.

Although she was only very slightly injured, he was subsequently charged with causing the first ever bicycle accident. The judge could not believe Kirkpatrick had travelled the 40 miles to Glasgow in only five hours, but after much explaining, he was allowed to return home.

The young woman is forced to stay with the professor and his wife following an accident outside of their home in which the student to whom she is engaged was killed. While the Oxford professor believes that he is in control of the events that will eventually lead to the destruction of his marriage, we soon discover that Anna isn't so innocent. The crowning metaphor of the film comes at the end when we see an unhurt Anna (in a flashback) crushing her dying fiancée beneath her spike-heeled foot as she steps on his face while trying disparately to climb out of the overturned car.
