I commute by bike on the a77 cycle path and when I passed last night the road was closed – only found out today that a cyclist had been killed.
As above the road is a nightmare for cycling now, I sometimes commute that way as it’s a lovely ride to work but most drivers still treat it as a two lane road and drive in the cycle path. Maybe the authorities will look at changing it now.
Accident happened half a mile east of the the wind farm entrance which is a steep section of the road but with good visibility. Dry, bright day so hard to understand what could have happened, I have my thoughts but don’t want to speculate.
Was supposed to be riding over the moor tomorrow morning but think we’ll go a different route, just doesn’t seem right.
Oh and it scares the shit out of me when it’s so close to home. Mondays commute will be difficult. Thankfully my wife understands thats I need to ride and won’t be on my case to give it up over winter.
