A man from Hanham has become the latest casualty of Keynsham's "optical illusion" cycle lane. Dave Dawson was visiting the high street earlier today (Thursday) when he sustained injuries to his hands and knees as he stepped off the kerb's edge.
It was revealed yesterday that 59 people had been injured on Keynsham High Street, where a cycle lane was installed last year. Mr Dawson, who is retired, has spoken to Bristol Live about becoming the latest person to fall victim to the cycle lane after he was seen tripping over the edge of the kerb.
Mr Dawson said: “I was walking along the pavement, and it’s sort of like an optical illusion; it looks as is if it's all level. I was walking back towards the church and stepped with my right foot on the edge of the pavement because it looked flat, and I lost my balance and fell down.
