Look out for those on two wheels 10:10 - Jun 8 with 2569 viewsbluelagos

Friend of mine was yesterday air lifted to Addenbrookes. She has a broken back and the prognosis is not good for her long term recovery.

Don't know the details of the crash, but I do know that every collision between bike and car - there's one who is a lot more vulnerable.

So please, ffs, do you us all a favour and just take a couple of extra seconds to think at junctions and/or if overtaking.

Sorry to hear this

Based on my personal experiences I would say there are quite a few on 2 wheels who would do well to pay more attention too and act more responsibly too.

Yep, so many people spent a year off the road it's as if some forgot how to drive.

And those that were on the roads (delivery drivers etc.) got used to quieter roads with far fewer bikes out.

On thing I've seen as a growing thing on the roads, from both bikers and from car drivers is crossing into the other carriageway to 'apex' the corner.

I've met a couple of bikes and a few cars of recent on the wrong side of the road, normally on sunny days.

This along with 'slip roading' when entering roundabouts by car drivers.

That's awful news... sorry to hear that.

I've pretty much given up on my road (pedal) bike now, as it feels too dangerous. The last 2 times I have been out, I have been perilously close to having major accidents, both from people that just didn't look for a cyclist. I only go out on the road bike for a physical blast, so I've abandoned that and decided to keep to MTB on cycle routes.

That's horrible. Sorry to hear about that.

A bit like SaleAway, I gave up Biking (Motor) a while ago now.

I am still on the road bike, may reasoning being at least I will be going slower when I do have an incident.

Dreadful news about your friend.

Agree drivers need to be more diligent at junctions.

I got pulled out on in my car only two days ago where this bloke thought he only had to look one way before pulling out of a side road.

If he can't spot a car what chance does a bike have?

I know we have another worthy fundraiser - but if anyone is feeling flush, a fundraiser has been set up to help Clair by her chap.

I don't know what to say.

I'm gutted for her too and I don't even know her.

I hope she has some good people around her.
