"THE family of an elderly cyclist who died after his bike collided with a truck have paid tribute to a man who would help anybody.

Robert Cherry, known as Bob, of Cardinal Drive, Walton, has been described by his daughter Michaela Hope as a keen gardener and steam train lover who cycled everywhere.

She said last Wednesday her 79-year-old father was cycling to get his morning paper when his bike collided with a skip lorry on Rydens Road.

Bob suffered a head injury and was taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, south west London, where he died from his injuries later that day.

Just wanted to follow this up. This (not very substantial) report, not previously linked to, states that the vehicle was parked in the street:

As ever, full details will only come out at the inquest.
