Re: Hasty Electric Scooterist on a wet day Versus Gate
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. |
