Yeah, he's a tough nut, mentally and physically. His last CT scan came back clear, he's breathing on his own, on liquid diet now, and started to chat with F and the boys. Very short sentences, but he's cognitive. And F says that when he's annoyed that characteristic lift of the eyebrow is still there. As far as I know there is absolutely no news or new info around the incident, or what actually transpired on that fateful morning. mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason alone every cyclist should invest in a varia rct or other rear mounted camera. There is a very small chance it may have prevented the incident altogether - but even if not it would provide some info on what happened...

He was on his way to an early meetup for a ride, when other members of the group also still on their way to the meetup point, found him motionless in the middle of the road. Severe head trauma, dislocated shoulder and broken/cracked ribs. No other vehicles in the vicinity.

splat Posted September 5 Share 49 minutes ago, Meezo said: That's interesting. Would like to hear more about what happened there. The Total garage is quite far down that hill (in the background closer to the sea) Any news on the cyclist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted September 6 Share Nothing new on this? quite a fast descent, vehicle could likely have turned in front of cyclist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 6 Share Hope the cyclist is okay. The marks on the bonnet and smashed glass could indicate the cyclist was travelling in the same line of travel as the car. It's on the left side of the car, with no damage to the bumper/lights. Most likely a hit from behind based on a visible evidence in the photo.

Robbie Stewart Posted September 6 Share I would hazard a guess that the driver of that VW suffers from an acute case of Socialmedialitis. That is an often fatal condition for anyone in close vicinity of the infected person, especially when that illness is combined with the simultaneous usage of a steering wheel, accelerator pedal and gear lever.

Thomo Posted September 8 Share Yesterday was the first time I had concerns on the Llandadnou - Green Point stretch returning from Chappies. ☹ The number of speeding vehicles overtaking while walkers and runners were inevitably pushing cyclists out into the traffic lane was scary. Be safe out there peeps. Edited September 8 by Thomo ChrisF, Headshot, Zebra and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe out there peeps. Despite the fact that there is a sign that says pedestrians aren't allowed on that stretch, I don't have a problem with people running along there (I do it to very occasionally). However if you are running two or three abreast forcing riders into the traffic lane, you're a C#*T! There is space for everyone, runners/cyclists/cars, if everyone would just be lekker!
