The junction has been redeveloped since that Streetview image was taken with new pedestrian barriers and pelican buttons. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-125032 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:00:09 +0000 crowriver 125032@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I hope he will recover.</p> <p>Here's the junction: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/9uKEU" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/maps/9uKEU</a></p> <p>Doesn't look particularly cyclist friendly, despite the presence of an ASL. I note in Streetview there is a cyclist on the pavement waiting to get across Dalrymple Loan. May not mean anything but I often notice more of this type of cycling around busy and/or hazardous junctions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-125030 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:32:49 +0000 custard 125030@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>speculation,but my assumption would be car cutting accross cyclists path to turn right </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124987 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 11:53:11 +0000 chdot 124987@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/cyclist-fighting-for-life-after-musselburgh-crash-1-3094510" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/cyclist-fighting-for-life-after-musselburgh-crash-1-3094510</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124949 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 21:59:31 +0000 kaputnik 124949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From Facebook;</p> <p>"in a stable condition and under sedation" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124895 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 09:45:46 +0000 chdot 124895@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I do hope he recovers quickly and completely"</p> <p>+1</p> <p>Fit cyclists generally recover better than the general population. </p> <p>Speculation is pointless, but it's a car rather than an HGV, urban side road, after dark. </p> <p>I have decided to put rest of this post in a new more appropriate thread. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124888 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 08:04:47 +0000 amir 124888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I do hope he recovers quickly and completely </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124884 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 06:39:50 +0000 Charterhall 124884@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a tweet this morning from (Olympic sprinter) Craig Maclean identifying the victim as Musselburgh Roads' stalwart Andy Laing. Notes that he's in hospital but doesn't add anything further about his condition. Friday evening is the Musselburgh club night, I wonder if he was riding back from that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124869 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 18:56:11 +0000 EddieD 124869@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'The 19-year-old female driver of the car was uninjured'</p> <p>A wee bit gratuitous, IMO.</p> <p>EDIT</p> <p>'At around 9.30pm, the car turned into Dalrymple Loan and collided with a cyclist'</p> <p>My word, it's Herbie. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11132#post-124862 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 17:44:41 +0000 chdot 124862@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://news.stv.tv/east-central/239497-cyclist-in-hospital-with-serious-head-injuries-after-car-collision" rel="nofollow">http://news.stv.tv/east-central/239497-cyclist-in-hospital-with-serious-head-injuries-after-car-collision</a> </p>
