While the cyclist, who was knocked unconscious in the fall, was treated in hospital he was told by staff of other riders injured using the cycle lane cycling
reports Darlington Borough Council is to appoint a contractor to resurface the infrastructure between Milbank Road and Greenbank Road, with a new material to be used and white lines to be repainted.
In hospital he was told that staff had treated other riders who had fallen on the same cycle lane, which has raised concrete edges separating the route from traffic, something Mr Webster called"an inherent danger from a cyclist's perspective in an environment supposedly meant to the protect them". "The cause of the accident was my wheels catching the edge of the raised concrete kerb edge which separates the cycle lane and the road lane tarmac levels. There were no warning signs to highlight the change of surface height and the kerb looks like a flat painted line as you approach it dead ahead.
