Pro cyclists avoid hitting elderly woman on zebra crossing
“These cyclists, never respecting pedestrian crossings”: Group of pro cyclists narrowly avoid hitting elderly woman with walking aid on zebra crossing during one-day race
A number of riders were able to move sharply to avoid the bewildered and stunned local , though both Team Lotto Kern-Haus’ Mauro Brenner and Caja-Rural’s 28-year-old Czech rider Michal Schlegel, especially, were forced to showcase some expert bike handling skills to narrowly jink either side of the pedestrian.Ole Theiler wasn’t so lucky, however, the 21-year-old German hitting the woman’s walking aid with his back wheel, knocking it from her hands and dragging it along the road.
However, others noted the difficulties of policing and safeguarding every local in the vicinity of the riders, especially those seemingly unaware of a race even taking place in their area. The issue of pedestrians using crossings during races – despite the road in question being closed – has become an increasingly common concern in recent years, with a number of oblivious locals spotted availing of the infrastructure during the first time trial of this year’s Giro d’Italia, while riders were hurtling towards them at 50kph.
That close organisational call came just hours after France’s Julie Bego, the surprise winner of the women’s junior race after a brave solo ride, made her way around the final left hander, only to see – not the finishing straight or the roar of an appreciate crowd – but a line of pedestrians again crossing the road, in a chaotic cycling version of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
