Looks like a wet and miserable winters day in the UK?

Scooterist is a fun word. I have never encountered it before.

Haste makes broken sternum.

I need to find one of these invisible gates... what a source of constant entertainment.

Bicycling 101:Watch the area in front of bike

That looks like a bike lane? I'm thinking it must be, since so many people on bikes are using it. If so, why is there a gate blocking it? Do bike lanes have business hours?

None of them paid the Troll Toll.

A cyclist is flung over in the air after not spotting a closed gate in front of him - the third person to do it in just eight months.

The safety-conscious rider, with a helmet on and lights on his bike, is seen heading down a hill at speed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

But the thick metal gate - leading to allotments - which is sometimes open, had been shut.

One local said: 'The gate has been open for weeks and got locked two days ago. I'm not sure how they miss it.'

Thankfully the man was not seriously hurt as he walked away.

In September, another cyclist was poleaxed by the same gate. He was only wearing shorts and a T-shirt due to the warmer weather.

And in March the same thing happened to an electric scooter rider who was seen going down the pathway at great speed.

As well as leading to allotments, the cyclepath links the city centre with the eastern suburbs.

It is unknown who was responsible for legitimately opening and shutting the gate.

hope the gate is ok

Paint it fluorescent & they'd probably still hit it. First guy had the loop down, I think he's done that before. The last guy took it pretty hard.
