Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningSorry to hear... Sending best wishes out into the ether...
Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningJudging by the bike frame (TT & DT clean snapped in half) it must have been some impact. Had her in a neck brace as I went past and seemed to be 'with it,' so hopefully ok.
Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningWas this incident on the road, or on the bike path?

Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningsaw an ambo at the same spot sometime last year. poorly designed corner. add in a bit of speed and you have a need for an ambo occasionally
Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningsad news. took note this morning and remembered to trail brake to keep pace down.
i've never had issues before, but i can see how a noob might come down a bit quick and skitter out on the bumps maybe. more exciting was the off-leash dog at 6:35am on that stretch from GBB to toowong - talk about havoc. poor owner must have thought it was a good idea at the time. dog restrained, disaster averted. internet experts: ruining bikes since '10 | http://www.redbubble.com/people/munga
Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningIt's a corner where a few in my group think they can shave a few secs off their PB.
Maybe I should make it a Strava segment "Nutcase's Corner" Ha ha! Cookies on dowels.
Re: Cyclist down on Go Between Bridge this morningThe word at the track last Saturday was that there was a malfunction of some type with the front wheel causing the rider to go over the bars and the bike to snap clean in two.
It was a fairly new high end bike btw. Although I do agree about slowing down taking that corner...went that way this week and took it nice and easy. Hope the rider is recovering ok. Lisa
