Swansea cyclist catapulted from bike by string http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-44396411
Injuries more serious than the headline suggests!
I’m surprised that anyone could have found a quiet enough few minutes to tie a cable across the track at that time of day. It’s busy! Thanks for the heads-up.
I saw this on facebook. It is really surprising no-one saw anything.
I’m also surprised that the victim felt that he had to mention that cyclists travel too fast on the path. It reads like a BBC cyclist-hating piece - mentions of irresponsible cyclists, need for helmet otherwise death may happen, etc.
The only conflict I’ve had down there is with owners of loose dogs (which is increasing.)

Agreed - I've had two bite me, only one drew blood though. The owneres response was 'Its because you're on a bike, he always bites cyclsits, he wouldnt bite if you weren't on a bike.'
Ha ha, serves you right for being a skinny cx’er! 😀

That sort of statement just makes me seethe. So you walk your dog on a path which is shared and then complain when your dog doesn't like the thing you're sharing the path with? Bloody mouth breathers!
Oh and is this the point when a hand rubbing dog owner suggests that you get off your bike the moment you see a dog and try and serenade it first before being allowed to pass it without being physically attacked? "Because thats what you should do if you don't want to be bitten"
What kind of sick person does that?
