Driving home with the kids yesterday I had to take a big detour as the road between Newmains and Harthill was closed following an accident. Today I found out from the wife of a cyclist friend that a cyclist died on the road after being hit from behind by a car.

That's pretty much all I know although I believe he may have been in his thirties. How it's happened I can't imagine as this is a very long, very wide, dead straight road with superb visibility.

It is galling and frustrating when one considers how little is being done to improve safety for cyclist on British roads. Many so called traffic calming measures actually make life more dangerous for us and it is little wonder that so few people choose to cycle.

My deepest sympathies go to the family of the dead man and I can only pray that this tragedy moves someone in power to consider the plight of cyclists more diligently.
 
I assume this is the same cyclist. :smile:
