Bradley Wiggins has been knocked off his bike and suffered broken ribs .If this doesn't show there is a need for safe cycle routes in the north then nothing will. Its not a great advert for others to get on their bike.

"British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought."
High profile accidents will help convince the government that more has to be done as the number of cyclists increases, now i am not for one minute suggesting that Team Sky gets its riders on the road in their all Black kit at night but........................

Londoner Bradley shouldn't have moved, it's clearly more dangerous to cycle in Lancashire. :rolleyes:

I wonder if he was braking any speed restrictions?
