Surely once you've been proven to be a driver of such standard you should be banned out right? </p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-19420354" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-19420354</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3660#post-38469 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:26:14 +0000 Dave 38469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I love the quote from Disability Sport Wales: "This happens very often in cycling," he said.</p> <p>Um.. no, it doesn't. The whole reason it makes the news is because it doesn't happen very often at all. Look at the Boris bikes - well over 6 million journeys in central London traffic and still no serious injuries.</p> <p>Way to encourage disabled people into sport, Disabled Sport Wales. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3660#post-38432 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:57:45 +0000 Min 38432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Jeez, that is just awful. :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3660#post-38431 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:47:38 +0000 Baldcyclist 38431@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lots of talk an twitter about this, what are the chances of being nearly killed twice in exactly the same circumstances? Word on twitter from those close to Simon is that Doctors say he will never ride again. Thoughts go out to Simon and his family at this worrying time:<br /> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14561147" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14561147</a> </p>
