Yes, and a new editor. Journalistic proof reading and editing have both gone down the pan in the last 20 years............. (IMO)

Whilst agreeing with your sentiment, Cycling Weekly maintains a pretty high standard of textual accuracy. For your post, though, colon (or nothing) rather than comma, I think.

Don't you think that blaming 'infrastructure' is a bit unreasonable, in the situation as described. The cyclist was 'roaring along a path' approaching "a small, narrow wooden footbridge". Cyclists should be prepared to give way to pedestrians on shared paths.

Even when they're probably fictional, as I suspect is the case in that article. I would have said the cycle track across Grantchester Meadows was tarmac and without bridges, but it's been a while since I was there so I may be confused. I wait to hear from our reporter on the scene.

I don't remember them and I started to look for wooden bridges that you could hit the front wheel on (I'm expecting the bunch of planks bolted together with a handrail sort) on streetview and stopped because I was losing the will to live
I'd chalk this one up as yet another journalist inciting cycle hate with fiction (and even the cycling press do it too) but I thought Doctor Hutch was better than that.

Younger cyclist see old dear doderring onto a narrower stretch or bridge staring at her feet and shouts a warning that is quick and succinct. seeing she is still maintaining her direction and as not realised he was allready commited to that space decides to bin the bike rather than risk harming her. Selfless act is reported as him being a thug by passersby as he is young. Cyclechat decide he should be kicked in nads for giving cyclists a bad name. Young cyclists thinks fark it cant win and buys a car, mows down a club peloton but doesnt really care anymore as they were all young and must have been at fault, court agrees.

More than that, it's the punchline. Change it and the entire piece loses its wit.
