    My in-laws know this mans family. He retired two weeks ago and took up cycling to keep himself in shape. Has really hit home to me as, were it not for recovering from a back injury, it could have been me out there at the time. I have ridden that road many times on my own and on club spins. His funeral is tomorrow. RIP

    RIP- It really shows the dangers using two wheels on our roads. I've had a few close shaves in my life.

    Whats the story with Drivers on roundabouts? They see you have right of way but still proceed! What, are we not good enough for you to take notice?:mad:

    This is not a thread for apportioning blame in respect of this tragic incident

    There are others who are more capable in this area than most of us who can do this in due course

    Thanks
