Broken bike (CC licensed image by garryknight, www.flickr.com)Police appeal after cyclist death in Buckinghamshire
Thames Valley Police have launched an investigation into a collision which resulted in the death of a cyclist in Buckinghamshire, reports the Bucks Herald.
Mairead Mary Boucherat was killed after colliding with a black Nissan Qashqai at around 10.30am on Saturday May 30 on the B4009, Tring Hill, Aston Clinton, near to the junction of Upper Icknield Way.
Boucherat was cycling with her husband while preparing for the London to Brighton Cycle on June 21. They were to ride in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
In a statement, the family said:
“A wonderfully joyful mother, wife, auntie, daughter, friend and soul mate. Mairead was also a teacher and special needs base leader who had worked selflessly in Hertfordshire primary schools for over 25 years.
“She is hugely missed by her loving husband and son, dear parents, wider family and by her many friends and colleagues, all of whom are devastated by their sudden loss.
“Thank you to so many for your kind tributes and support and for the additional fundraising in honour of Mairead by George and the Tring Velo Club. Do please continue to support, comment and contribute, this has been a great help to us.”
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact PC Colin Riley from Amersham roads policing on non-emergency number 101.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

My condolences to Mr Boucherat and to his family.
The slaughter continues ……………. When will it end?
RIP.
There but for the grace of God.
RIP.
That is awful. My condolences
Another tragedy, RIP and condolences to the friends and family.
In just the same way that it's NEVER the time to call for gun control in the USA.
SAME invalid arguments.
I thought road,cc had a 'no comments' policy for this type of report. All rhetoric aside, condolences to the family friends are all that should be offered here!
Condolences to the family, should they read this thread - the time and place for rage against the cars is not now.
Another sad loss - I am sure she will be sorely missed.
I think it's much more appropriate to offer condolences, another sad loss!
It might be more appropriate, but it is a measure of the lack of confidence in the system.
How many drivers break the law, how many drivers are really held to account for their actions.
RIP,
I wish this was unusual and that I wouldn't read virtually the same story next week.
A tragedy. We should immediately investigate:
-Was she wearing a helmet?
-Did she have lights on?
-Was she wearing hi-vis?
-Was she cycling fast?
-Was she an experienced cyclist that never wobbled?
-Was her bike taxed and insured?
If the answer to any of the above is "no" then the cyclist is completely at fault irrespective of all other circumstances.
