The retired teacher, who was a keen cyclist, had been out with friend Nigel Mycock when the incident happened.
Claims made by road workers that a six-inch deep crack which killed a cyclist could have closed up - and then reopened - on its own, have been slammed by a coroner who described the explanation as defying “all reasonable logic”.
When they came to a groove in the centre of the road, Mr Mycock moved to the left and Mr Colledge to the right.

Mr Treen was asked how he could have missed the large crack, to which he said “I didn’t miss it, it must have been repaired” before suggesting the crack must have “closed up on its own”.
Recording a narrative verdict, she said if the road had been repaired the previous October it was “more likely than not that he would not have died”.
