BY DAKOTA TAIT

A cyclist is in hospital after an accident on the Fernleigh Track, believed to have happened when a motorbike rider ran off him off the path.

Emergency services were called to Redhead just before 11am on Wednesday.

The 85-year-old man had a head injury, cuts, and abrasions.

He was transported to the John Hunter Hospital on a spinal board.

Locals say motorbikes are a common sight along the track and through the bush.
