CYCLISTS USED TO CHECK THEIR FLAT BACKS IN THESE WINDOWS.
=======================================
The family of a “devoted dad” who died after his car crashed into a bakery have paid tribute to him.

Ryan Anthony Bagnall, from Gwersyllt, Wrexham county was driving a white Vauxhall Corsa which crashed into the front window of Gerrards Bakery in Wrexham on Monday.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Ruthin Road at about 02:00 BST.

The 26-year-old died shortly after arriving at Wrexham Maelor hospital by ambulance.

North Wales Police said the female passenger remains in hospital in Stoke-on-Trent with significant injuries.

Paying tribute, Mr Bagnall’s family said: “Ryan was a caring and loveable rogue.

"He was a devoted Dad to his two girls and he’ll be missed by all his family and friends.”

The force has urged any witnesses to get in touch.

I am sure you are going to tell us what significance this has to cycling
any minute now.

I just did do - cyclists used to study the flatness of their riding positions in shop windows. The flatter the back, the more streamlined you were. These days, you can film yourself.

So, no specific significance to cycling, then, merely a generality.

But he has at least indicated the vanity of chavs on bikes.

An estate agent says he's 'very lucky' not to be seriously injured after a car ploughed through the front of his office and hit his desk.

Bes Polamani of Hunters Estate Agent in Peach Street, Wokingham, was just coming back into the office when a driver crashed through the front window of the office.

It hit where he would have been sitting and caused major damage to the front of the building.

The incident left the road blocked and four people were treated by South Central Ambulance Service before being taken to hospital.

Work is being carried out to board up and secure the building in Wokingham town centre after staff had to stay overnight to keep it safe.

Bes said: "I was actually just coming into the office when it happened.

"My first thought was to ensure the people in the car were OK and call police and ambulance.

"It only came to me a bit later I could have been sitting at my desk when it happened.

"Thankfully I was very lucky to have been out at the time, a few minutes later and who knows what would have happened?"

He added: "We tried to get it secured, but weren't able to and we weren't able to get an overnight security guard so some of us had to stay here overnight to ensure nothing was stolen."

He said it is likely the office will be closed for around six weeks while the repairs are carried out.

Some staff will temporarily move to another office in Wokingham, with the majority working at home.

The incident happened at around 2.15pm and led to the busy road being blocked.

It is not thought anyone was seriously injured in the incident.

A spokeswoman for Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "At 12:34pm on Wednesday, 27 October, we received reports of a road traffic collision on Peach Street, Wokingham.

"Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Wokingham Road and Bracknell fire stations were sent to the scene.

"Upon arrival, crews found a road traffic collision involving three cars.

"Fortunately, no people were trapped but four casualties were placed into the care of South Central Ambulance Service.

"Crews worked to make the scene safe and were on the scene for approximately 51 minutes.

Again absolutely nothing to do with cycling.

Of course it is. We have to share the roads with these dangerous idiots and knowing their driving habits is invaluable.

We have to share the roads with these dangerous idiots and knowing their
cycling habits, such as their narcissism (admiring their reflection in shop
windows), is invaluable.

If that was the case, cyclists would not have been able to use the window
for their narcissism…

QUOTE: 2 days ago

"Dash cam video shows driver's lockdown 'moment of madness' in high-speed police chase"

Ryan Bagnall from Wrexham was sentenced at Mold Crown Court

A man who drove at more than 60mph through a residential area while being chased by police has avoided jail.

Police dash cam footage captured Ryan Bagnall driving at high speed through red traffic lights and the wrong way around two roundabouts during the chase in Wrexham on April 3, 2020. ENDS
