Cyclist knocked down on OKW

[MRT1]

Accident happened on Saturday , cyclist was coming down okw towards Westlake when a creme coloured porche cayene overtook in the opposite direction striking his arm with wing mirror. Motorist did not stop.Cyclist is still in hospital , had first surgery on Saturday for repair of blood vessels etc. Needs further surgery to brocken bones possibly today. I don't know how but he managed to get from OKW to Cycle Lab Westlake on his own. If the motorist had stopped he would at the very least been able to help. Hit and run accidents require far more severe legislation !

Thanx, MRT1.

 

Eina.

 

Get better soon, Rider.

[Let's Ride]

I rode OKW yesterday + - 7:10 am.

 

Cars do whizz up their only having to brake further up the road.

 

I do feel much safer having my Magic Shine rear light on. People tend to give me more space but on blind corners I know it's still a possibility.

Yeah, man, many blind corners on that Pass.

And cyclists go at such slower speeds (on the ascents) than those cars...
