Pro cyclist says bright clothing 'doesn't matter to some drivers' after being left with broken back and snapped bike Trinity Racing's Bob Donaldson to miss his season's first race after being hit by a driver while returning home after training. cycling
While we've reported on numerous instances whereby cyclists have been asked to wear high-vis by various authorities in the past, clothing choice is sometimes shown to be futile when it comes to some drivers – and now, a pro cyclist representing Britain has suffered a broken back after being hit by a speeding driver, despite donning an outfit that could barely be any brighter.
“It was a straight hill, the driver could’ve seen me… should’ve seen me. He thought that he could beat me to the drive and pulled right across my path. I had nowhere to go,” Bob told road.cc After a CT scan at the hospital, he found out that he had a broken transverse process on four lumbar vertebrae, delegating him to six weeks of bed rest.
“It’s so depressing to have such an important period off the bike really,” said Bob. “I don’t see the point, you can wear whatever you want, some people are going to drive stupidly anyway.”
