Is it not obvious?
Keep well out of the way of traffic, rather than looking for footage while he cycles too close to danger.

Right, and what traffic was he near when he crashed?

It must take a certain piece of work to get off on a video where someone is seriously hurt through no fault of their own. The same half dozen fools at it as always. The unloved and unnatural.

How is Jank I wonder ?

I'm perfectly fine mate.
Going to do a work out there now in 5 minutes.

How does he keep out of the way of traffic when he cycles from Carrigaline to his work?

ok.. lets go slowly here.. there is no bike NCT or anything like it so I wasn't suggesting the people who are fanatical about bikes should not be subject to your imaginary test

All I was saying is that HemmY got straight into trying to suggest that RTB was negligent about bike maintenance, and I pointed out that this is unlikely given the standard of bike he is cycling and his constant posting about his biking travails. It was a chain slip and the bike he is riding is a finely tuned instrument, it is unlikely he was cycling around with his derailleur out of sync, worn cassette or rings, stretched chain to that extent etc etc.

People just itching to blame him for it.

Just shows you the character of these 'people'

Given that roads have traffic, is this just another way to say, he shouldn't cycle on any road?

Are you able to understand the written word ?

The here and now was, he was on his own and whatever happened he ended up on the road and he is lucky there was not a vehicle behind or close to him.

Now will you please point out, where I said there was traffic next to him when he crashed?

Keep well into the side of the road and try to get over his fear of rabbits jumping our suddenly from the ditch.

Again, keep into the side, I did it myself for years and I was never harmed
