Re: Tributes to a cyclist
A terrible accident and a terrible loss of life and serious injury.
When we're all out on our bikes pedalling away, we're defenceless to the traffic that is all around us. Unfortunately accidents do happen. In most cases, despite injury, we can (and do) get back on the bike again and go back to pedalling our bikes. However some accidents give the rider no chance. A black day for all cyclists : we should remember all the other cyclists who have been killed and seriously injured too. |

My user name is in memory of a great Australian cyclist called Russell Mockridge. He was a dual Olympic gold medallist, winner of the Open Grand Prix of Paris as an amateur, winner of the Paris Six Day Race, Tour Du Vaucluse and a Tour de France rider. He was killed when hit by a bus in a race in Melbourne in 1958. He was only 30. It's fitting that we remember him and Amy Gilet and all the others who have been lost this way. |
