Take care on our roads – there was an incident in Bell Street on Monday 19th June, around 6.00pm
From Cycle Whitchurch to all who use our roads:
Early evening on Monday 19th June there was a serious incident in Whitchurch at the junction of Evingar Road with Bell Street, where a person who was cycling had to be taken by ambulance to hospital with injuries. Evingar Road was closed for some time by the police.
This is the fourth known incident at this cross roads, three involving cycling.
And then this happened...
A passing person loudly announced:
"Its only a cyclist – f*** 'em; they cause me enough bl**** trouble when I'm driving".
To this 'person' there is a message:
"A cyclist, like anyone else, may be someone's father, a mother, a son, a brother, a sister, a husband, a wife, a friend, a colleague..."
"Let us hope no one you care for suffers injuries or worse in any incident. Such selfish, dangerous and uncaring attitudes have no place in any part of today's society."
We wish the best in recovery to all those who may have been involved in any way in this most recent incident.
