Thought are with the poor victim and their friends and family.
Hope they pull through.
Please, no helmet comments, they're irrelevant.

Hope they are ok.
I regularly see road and cycle path commuters not wearing helmets where I cycle. I feel like shouting to them please wear a helmet to protect yourself.
seems a relevant post if it's serious head injuries
I'd say start a book but we may never find out whether they were you know what...
Heard of a similar incident near me in Glasgow recently - and it really puts me off cycling in cities on roads You just have very little chance with a 1 to 2 ton vehicle and concrete involved - even when there very little speed (of the vehicle) involved
Vehicles and bikes just shouldn't be on the same road for the same reasons as people and vehicles shouldn't
I would vote for consistent separate cycle paths and leave the cars to it
I used to live on the front at brighton too (and then lived in Haywards Heath) Have good memories of both Sorry to hear of both places in such circumstances

Car accidents won't cause injuries in town due to the low speeds Its only on country roads and motorways that car deaths increase
I take the point of Red Light that intersections will still be a problem but there can be under and/or over passes where possible
Firstly, my best wishes to the rider involved for a speedy recovery.
Secondly this thread makes me sad, someone is hurt and all you lot can do is bicker about helmets and segregation, some posters on here should be ashamed of themselves.
