Appeal after cyclist seriously injured in collision in Methill

Officers in Methil are appealing for information after a crash involving a bicycle and an off-road dirt bike.

Around 8.20pm on Saturday, 2 August, 2025 we received a report of a collision at The Dam, near Watt Crescent in Methil.

A 62-year-old male cyclist was injured when he was knocked off his bike by a male youth on a black and orange dirt bike, who was part of a group of three youths on motorcycles.

The group then left the scene and failed to leave details.

The cyclist was taken to Victoria Hospital before being transferred to the Royal infirmary of Edinburgh with what are described as serious injuries.

The biker involved in the crash is described as being 13-19 years old, wearing all black clothing, an orange ski mask and white helmet.

Sergeant Tony Crielly, Methil Police Office, said: "We are keen to trace the individuals involved and anyone that recognises the description should get in touch with police.

"I'd also appeal to the youths themselves to get in touch to provide information."

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting reference 3248 of 2 August, 2025.
