I AM DEEPLY saddened to read of the death of a cyclist on the A4810 between Magor and Llanwern. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
I have travelled this road many times and almost every time I have passed a cyclist riding on the main carriageway even though there is a wide cycle path provided.
I am not saying it was the young man’s own fault. I don’t even know if he was using the cycle path or not. I am just trying to understand why any cyclist would wish to share a carriageway with motor vehicles when a cycle path is provided.
I am sorry if readers think this is insensitive but please let us not have cyclists losing their lives on the roads any more.
