The Buckinghamshire countryside ride started peacefully enough. But it didn’t take long before disaster struck on the region’s deteriorating roads – and it nearly cost someone their life.
A rider hit a water-filled pothole so deep it snapped their bike frame in half. Even worse, another cyclist was seriously hurt and rushed to hospital. They face an operation tomorrow for a fractured jaw, cheek, and nose.
Gruesome Injuries Expose Road Danger
The injured has two puncture wounds in the face, a split lip needing stitches, and a minor spine fracture. These aren’t just routine injuries or “missed repairs” – this is the deadly result of years of neglect.
Roads Officially a Disgrace
Britain’s roads are crumbling. Underinvestment has created a ticking time bomb for cyclists and all road users. The state of our highways is not just inconvenient – it’s a national disgrace that needs urgent action now.
