Mr Brown smashed his head off the road and suffered serious head injuries including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.
Cowardly Hedley then left the 34-year-old cyclist lying unconscious in the middle of the road before getting back into his car and driving off.
Hedley, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, subsequently found out police had put out an appeal to find the motorist involved and he handed himself into a local station two days later.
Hedley pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Brown to his severe injury, permanent impairment and to the danger of his life when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday, September 22.

Shit, that’s a really bad outcome for the cyclist! Poor dude
Mate of mine died like that. Skull is very thin at the back of the head
Hits on the head are a roll of the dice: nothing, concussions, death are all options…
“Permanent impairment” from a violent assault, huh? What’s a good punishment for that?
That cyclist will be affected for his entire life. I feel like the assailant should also be affected for his entire life.
I hope Joseph pays all of Iain’s medical bills and living costs for the rest of his life.
