Two cyclists were injured in separate incidents after hitting wires strung across a popular bike path in Adelaide, Australia. The incidents happened ahead of the Santos Tour Down Under cycling race.
Wire strung across a popular bike path in Adelaide, Australia, has caused two serious crashes ahead of the Tour Down Under cycling race. On Friday, January 10th, a group of three cyclists were injured when they hit a wire stretched across the path at 35km/h. Their bikes suffered severe damage. A second incident occurred on Monday, January 13th, when a female cyclist hit a wire strung across the same path. Her bike sustained extensive damage, but she escaped injury.
Both incidents happened on the same stretch of bike path that runs next to the Southern Expressway at Noarlunga Downs. This off-road route is popular with local riders. The attacks come at a time when Adelaide is hosting hundreds of professional cyclists and fans for the upcoming Santos Tour Down Under. South Australia Police are investigating. They urge all cyclists to be aware of the potential danger and to be alert when using bike paths along the Southern Expressway. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers. Last week, SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens urged road users to be extra vigilant during January, as the WorldTour races will bring an abundance of cyclists on the road. He emphasized the need for shared responsibility and safe road use
