I think a cyclist was hit on Telegraph Road Bracken Ridge in Brisbane yesterday too...anyone know anything?
Came past about 6am but the cyclist was in the ambulance and they weren't rushing to get away. Police were interviewing a motorist but don't know what had happened. Didn't get a real good look at the bike but from where I was it appeared undamaged...blue FELT I think.

Thanks for that.
I used to ride that road twice a week. Scary. Am getting coach to look into who it was.

Good news, on that one osc:
I checked with Coach and yep, it's one of the ProCoach Triathletes. "Telegraph Rd" and "Felt" just screamed ProCoach. The cyclist is okay and in Richard's words "he'll live to race another day."
Thanks for that information. Very, very glad to hear that the cyclist is ok.
I ride that road several times a week, in the opposite direction to the guy who was hit and the shoulders are not very bike friendly. Hope the motorist, if he was at fault (better be totally objective!), gets his just desserts.
