Have just heard on local news 2 cyclists killed near Cockermouth. Both in their twenties, a coach driver has been arrested. R.I.P

Sorry no link as yet.

Very sad news :sad: - link here

That bit of road is nasty because it's bumpy with lots of blind summits, but an NSL road and people tend to treat it as a motorway. I usually wouldn't ride along it but I'd imagine they were sticking to the main road because of the ice.

Yes I know that road well and avoid cycling on it but in the present conditions it may have been the only route open to cyclists. There seems to have been a spate of cyclists related road incidents in Cumbria this year. My heart goes out to the familys of the cylists.

Very sad news indeed.

The reports says "The coach was travelling in the same direction". I just wonder how this incident happened.

This is the section of road (travelling West)

Silly overtakes are common and the road goes over crests and round bends more frequently than many drivers think.
