Meanwhile, with so many ships trawling the crowded waters of the Gulf, there is always the risk of an "accident" or "collision" with unintended consequences.
The spokesman added that police were appealing for witnesses to the accident and were particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw the bicycle prior to the collision.
On Wednesday, a cyclist suffered leg injuries after an accident with a car in Effingham Road, Copthorne and on Tuesday a cyclist received serious head injuries in a collision with a car on the A23 at Salfords.
The accident happened on the A483 Newtown to Dolfor road at 1305 BST when a blue HGV travelling towards Dolfor came into collision with a white Ford Fiesta travelling towards Newtown.
