“I had zero control”: Team manager crashes car after frightening tyre blowout at Tour of Britain cycling
As you can see from the frankly terrifying video above, Steve Lampier, the team manager of the Cornwall-based UCI Continental squad Saint Piran, managed to somehow squeeze between the Bardiani-CSF team car parked on the corner and a wall and telegraph pole.
“And we were on a slippy bit of road and had zero control. I don’t know how I managed to, but I put it between the wall and the car, the Bardiani car. “I’ve been driving for 20-something years and never had a crash so, yeah, I was very, very lucky that no one got injured.
On Tooley Street and along Cycleway 8, the number of cyclists increased by more then 25 percent since the schemes were implemented. “We’ve seen a huge rise in walking and cycling over the past two years as more and more Londoners enjoy using sustainable ways to get around the capital,” says Will Norman, London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner.
