    Passed a horrible looking accident this morning. Police and ambulance in attendance and a red Specialized bike mangled on the verge; looked in a bad way. Didn't see the cyclist but hope he/she is ok.

    If anyone knows that road they'll know there are a few side roads where people often chance it and pull out when there is very little gap in traffic (even when your in a car). Where the accident was I've always thought it a nasty junction.

    Witnessing these things makes Mrs Beano want me to give up cycling; I try to use it to focus my mind on being the safest I can be on the road.

    Don't be discouraged. After all when you pass a horrible car smash, most people don't suddenly think*, "I'd better give up driving, way too dangerous"

    *wrongly or rightly

    Sounds nasty, I hope the rider fared better than the bike.
