Cyclist mown down by lamp-post
The article doesn't say that the road was closed. The photo is just the stock one that they pull out for articles about accidents.
Could somebody post a link showing the cycle path with a lamp post in the middle? Stockingstone Road is quite long but I have looked at several sections on Google Street View and can't find where this guy would legally be on the footway. Of course I am sure that there is no connection with the incident taking place at closing time! |

I reckon it would be going down the hill, cyclists have terrible difficulties with them, frequently ending up dead wrapped round a gate, lamp-post, fence post etc. |

These lamp post weapons should be banned. -- Dave-Cyclists VORK Motorists account for 1 single fatality per 208,311,415 miles driven. A simply incredible safety record. |

If people were continually banging on to you about the harbour hardware that sail boat captains inexcusably rammed their boats into wouldn't you be inclined (or even tempted) to point out that such inexplicable behaviour wasn't by any means restricted to users of that particular viable means of transport? -- Alexis "We all have some purpose in life, if only simply to serve as a warning to others." |

Don't make assumptions. Are you ****ing blind or something? Are you stupid or something? I doesn't occur to you to wonder why a woman might be standing in near darkness waiting to ask someone? |

She was out walking her dog, saw the bollard, saw the cyclist, and assumed he was blind? -- My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli - a strong currant pulled him in. |
