2012-08-01 - Rider Down/Fatality, Ruckholt Road/East Cross Road (London)

The eyewitness account was not made up. My son was behind the poor chap when this happened, and went under the bus to comfort him. He later wrote an account, trying to say, how we all need to be careful out there. Lots of bloggers and journalists tried to contact him, and so he thought to remove the blog. He only did what we all think we would do in the circumstance. He doesn't want to talk about it to anyone, and regrets even doing the blog.
When the white bike is placed there, he said he might join me and pay his respects.
Really sad to see all the messages and hear about Daniel's life, and just becomes doubly tragic.

Before the Olympics even started we noticed the lack of cycle lanes on any plans.

Which when you think, is it that "the powers that be", really! aren't interested in the cycling community. Do they think, we are on the margins of society and not to be included. It's so annoying and frustrating at the same time
