The 49-year-old was riding with a group of cyclists on Green Lane,
Wath Upon Dearne, on Saturday at approximately 11.35am when the
accident took place.

After riding through gravel, he lost control of his bike which then
travelled onto the other side of the road and collided with a blue
Nissan van.

The cyclist sustained serious chest and leg injuries

Wrong sort of gravel I guess.

I hope he was wearing a helmet, the injuries could have been even more
serious.

Did I ever tell you about my daughter attending a cyclist who came off -
and 'de gloved' his penis?

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
