    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.

    ...and another this morning on the A4 between Chippenham and Calne by the Saab garage in rush hour. Ended up with the bike being squashed between the back of one car and the front of another

    Yea, I ride very slowly not for safety just that the kit is so bloody expensive if you bend it !
    Counting down until my next ride out!

    We came across a smack on the Locking Road into Weston today.

    The rider suffered only a broken ankle but judging by the mess his bike was in was a very lucky boy.
    Everything else is shyte

    Well, Last Train, this is good news indeed. I'm lad to hear the rider came off lightly .... bikes are replaceable, but alas, bikers aren't. Richard
    PS I wish him a speedy recovery ...
    It's not about my ears ... it's about my ride!

    With so many potholes it's easy to concentrate more on the road surface than the other road users :/
