'I've never seen anything like it': Cyclists hospitalised by loose gravel crash seek compensation from council cycling
Last Saturday a Tamworth Cycling Club group ride was brought down by a"shocking" loose gravel surface, resulting in three members being badly injured and thousands of pounds worth of damage.they intend to claim compensation for the bikes that were damaged in the crash, and that things could have been"far, far worse".
"Unfortunately, what looked fine was actually a top dressing of grit. It was like going through sand. Can you imagine cycling on a beach? It's impossible," one of the group, Lee Bagnall, said. "It was shocking. The crash was unavoidable. If there had been anything coming down the other way it could've been far, far worse. In tens of thousands of miles cycling, I've never seen anything like it."
Last Saturday's incident unfolded between Repton and Milton and saw those at the front try to warn those further back in the 11-rider group about the danger of the surface — littered with potholes, uneven sections and loose gravel — but turned around to see their club mates lying injured in the road.
