Cyclist Down, Glasgow.

[Slick]

Chaos on the roads this morning, couldn't believe it when I realised why.

Road likely to be closed for some time.

Shoot. Lorry Vs Cyclist.

Not good 😳

How sad, RIP.
This was my commute for many years.
Coming back from the SEC, if one goes on the road instead of the riverside shared path, there are some bits unsafe for cyclists.

Last report I saw said cyclist taken to hospital. Do you have a confirmed report of death?
If so, then RIP, but I'm still hopeful.

You will know it better than anyone Pat, as I was trying to remember if there was a cycle lane there or if it was one they removed post Covid?

No reports on condition as yet, as far as I'm aware.

After reading one report, I'm hopeful too.

Now confirmed that the cyclist didn't make it.

Thoughts with the family.

Not apportioning blame. But yet another tipper lorry.

Horrible looking things.

Awful news .
On a road I use a lot.

 

[Sterlo]

Condolences to the family. Annoyed by all of the negative comments but not surprised.

 

[Oldhippy]

Despite another death little thought will be given making more space or provision for better cycling it will just be something along the lines of awareness training for drivers or brighter colours on trucks or another 'seeing to be done' quick fix.

This is one section of the cycle routes that might be fixed now. Look at the bridges and see the difference, the one at the death

cuts back up to the lights and the other is cantilevered under.

Tragic event; but....
Does anyone know what actually happened yet? Before we start making assumptions as to who/what is to blame?
I remember a similar thread years ago when a caravan was involved in a fatal RTC with a cyclist. Turns out cyclist had been head down, rode into back of stationary caravan.
