Cyclist down... Edinburgh

[Deleted member 40597]

36 year old male in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with 'life threatening' injuries. I pass this junction to/from work each day, and wondered why the road was closed around midday on my way home.

Hopefully a full & speedy recovery awaits the rider.

RIP to the cyclist. Hopefully there is some dashcam footage showing what happened, and (if necessary) action taken against any parties responsible.

Let's not kid ourselves on, regardless of available information or not, nothing of substance is likely to happen. Far too many ghost bikes tied to the side of the roads for it ever to be fair.

Agreed, but we can live in hope.
