    Tis a shame. I dont see how anyone could leave someone lying there. :?

    I was reading the BEP this morning online and it appears someone suffered severe head injuries around that way too. http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/homepage ... ticle.html

    Dear christ, some of those comments. :roll:

    Appears they've removed the really abusive and disgusting comment he left there earlier this morning. :? I dont know how some people get away with writing stuff like that. Anytime someone is seriously injured the papers should take a zero comment line as this just fuels anger and enflames the trolls' passions. It would be more respectful to those concerned also.

    Redvee comes from that way doesnt he? Hope it wasnt anyone he knows. Hope both cyclists make full recoveries too

    I live just outside Reading and regularly cycle in/out of town. Mostly it's OK, but occasionally there's some truly appalling driving. The road where the accident happened is fairly busy so surely someone will have seen it and will hopefully report the b@stard.

    I've just ordered a hideously fluorescent Night Vision jecket to increase my chances in the murky weather and at the several roundabouts I have to cross - those are where I've had most of my close shaves.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the cyclist who got hit this morning, and the one in Bristol.
