Live blog: Team GB limited edition chain for £250 anyone? Bristol Council's decision to force L-Dub Community Bike Project to stop operating could leave 40 children without bikes for Christmas, Evans vouchergate resolved, + more

That's £3M of cones to block off a few routes to make it easier for the workers to park up their transits and drink tea.

£3M hardly pays for consultation on a minor road engineering project.

"Highways England now working with Sustrans to improve National Cycle Network"

Just how will an organisation whose only experience of cycling is to make it worse, improve the NCN.  That's HE I'm talking about, not Sustrans.  Will they be putting in dog legs, barriers and interminable wait crossings?  £3m; you're having a laugh aren't you.  That's one fairly minor road engineering project; loose change that HE found down the back of the sofa.

Away with you and your bike identification/physics based explanation for the dodgy looking fork!

That's a Giant Propel he's riding, so has carbon forks which don't really bend, they are either intact or broken, unlike metal. I think it is camera parellax that makes it look bent, as those forks have an outward curve from top to bottom. 

I think he grabbed a handful of front brake at the same time as turning, which caused him to high-side. The Propel has a kind of linear pull,V brake type of affair, so maybe he was unfamiliar with the braking characteristics of it (as am I to be honest).

As said before, everyone else was riding on point, even if he wasn't!

"Highways England will pump £3 million in funding"

£3m is basically a rounding error in this context...

Good reactions from the third wheel though, narrowly avoided a bike wheel in the face

Looking at Hoarseman's still, looks like a triathlon arm rest tucked under the handlebars too.

I suspect this wasn't his first crash of the day -- attempting to ride home on a broken bike instead of sucking it up and making the call to the significant other to come pick you up.

Yep, that fork does not look right. The sticky out brake cable looks very wrong too. I think it’s a triathlon bike with the front brake caliper behind the fork crown. Nasty fall.

The cable sticking out 8 inches to his left hurts my eyes even before he goes A over T

Re the Instacrash clip - look at his forks, his right (our left) looks out of place. Apply braking, and...
