But, wrong forum, and nobody really cares. |
It is an A road not a Motorway. It is NOT the cyclist who is at fault it is the truck driver.
Like pedestrians and horse riders should GTF off the roads so we can fly around like arseholes on motorbikes???
It's not the easiest road to cycle on but one should still be allowed to ride a bike on it.
I hope the truck driver goes to jail for murdering the cyclist.
We always bleat about Bikers Rights what about other road users rights? |
I'm not suggesting it was the cyclist's fault - just that they were exposing themselves to massive risk by riding down the A19 - a dual carriageway road, with a 70 mph limit and heavy traffic. There is no fooking way I would cycle down that road, it is busy and fast.
I have cycled on a similar stretch of road when I worked in Kent on an away job, but that was much less busy, and punctuated by several roundabouts, so people were a bit more aware of hat as going on, rather than being in a bit of a trance. Plus speed was on balance a bit lower. I still felt incredibly vulnerable, one slight error from me or a driver and it would be goodnight Vienna.
I only did it twice before I found an alternative route to get some exercise.
So, perhaps it was not the cyclist's fault he was splattered by a truck, but they showed a remarkable disregard to the risk of their actions to take a pushie out on the A19. |

More than a few mates of mine got held up in that this morning on the way to Uni, the A66 leading into Boro is getting road resurfaced so I think increased traffic flow on the A19 as people tried to avoid the roadworks, paves the way for increased chances of collisions I reckon.
From the radio it seems a Lorry driver has been arrested in conjunction with the incident. ____________________ Current: 02 FZS 1000 Some Bike Pics...

Meanwhile the dead cyclists parents vowed to continue their life long passion of cycling on their caravan
' weekends ', but will no longer use the M4 to Wales.
