sad indeed.
hate those 'priority to oncoming vehicles' islands.
apart from the raised teflon surface, cars always dispute right of way.
bad enough to take down one bike, but two???
be interesting to know who was in the wrong...
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

That piccy isn’t very clear tbh (not that they ever are... :problem:) but the roads a bit of a pig.

It's next to an Asda with a couple of roundabouts near the main entrance/exit on top of each other-people in oncoming vehicles tend to fly through both with no regard for anyone negotiating them...

The road then opens up into a very long sweeping right hander by a lake. I think its a 40 limit (but don't quote me on that :think:) along this stretch but quite a few people bomb along it. Some in a hope to impress people walking by the lake I reckon :? :crazy:

I'm not 100% sure at which point the accident actually occurred though...

Sad either way :thumbdown: RIP bike riding fella's.

Sad news indeed, it's a high price to pay for doing something you love doing
