Cyclist suffers serious injury in crash between two bikes
12:26pm Wednesday 25th June 2008
A CYCLIST suffered serious injuries in a collision between two mountain bikes in Southampton.
The cyclists collided while both were travelling along Lodge Road towards Portswood Road.
It happened as they approached the pedestrian crossing at the junction with Earls Road, one behind the other.
The cyclist behind, a 41-year-old man from Southampton, came off his blue-framed bike and suffered serious injuries to his head and chest.
He was taken to the Southampton General Hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
The other cyclist, a 22-year-old man from Southampton, was uninjured.
The road had to be closed for around two hours after the accident at around 7.30pm yesterday to allow for a full investigation of the scene and recovery of the bicycles.
Anyone with information or who witnessed the collision is asked to Sergeant Simon Brooks at the Totton Roads Policing Unit on 0845 045 4545 or Crimestoppers, the charity, on 0800 555 111.

It was an accident ffs, and would only take 30 seconds to throw the bikes into the back of a van. Yet more idiotic policing which has va knock on effect to traffic and many, many others.

Blue framed bike what do you expect?
Is "blue framed bike" a code word for something or do you expect everyone to have such an imaginary mind like yours?
If i said "yellow banana" would you be crying "OMG"?

I don't think it's a code word, unless you consider 'filler copy' as such.
Most bananas are in fact yellow, (initially green), so, no, I wouldn't be alarmed or cry OMG if you said such a phrase. And don't forget, I wouldn't be listening anyway.
Whereas not all bikes are blue

dont they have bells on push bikes anymore ?
at least he could of gave him a ring before crashing into him !
i expect it's the partially sighted taxi driver who is'nt allowed to drive anymore, so now he's riding around on a mountain bike.

Was the guy on the second bike Lewis Hamilton? He is down Southampton way pratting about on some speedboat. If it is him can you let us know so we can deduct him some more points.

As for bells (del boys comment) they are generally useless on the roads - only useful on shared ped/cycle and cycle lanes and when its quiet enough to hear the thing. An airhorn is better.
THere jsut cyclists for god sake, sweep the debris to the side of the road and get on with it ! Why shut a vital road for so long- bet they never find out why these idiots crashed !
