    Serious bike accident between Box and Batheaston just after Z bend,happened about 4.15pm.Rider was airlifted to hospital but bike was burnt out on impact.I dont think any other cars etc were involved.Sad news hope the rider will survive.I could not tell what bike/colour it was only it looked like it had a 4-1 exhaust.

    Shocking road anyway but that specific Z Bend used to cause me no end of problems on my way to work. Knowing the councils lack of planning its probably still peppered in pot holes too?

    GWS whoever it was!

    Someone was knocked off their bike in Bristol yesterday morning not far from the airport on the A38. Someone pulled out, either pushing them or making them swerve into an oncoming car, details are sketchy, got air-lifted to hospital and it doesn't look good. In rush hour traffic so must have only been doing 30-40mph.
    Sad reminders on how vulnerable we can be and the need to ride safe.
