I hate that image. Every time I see it it means another life taken or ruined.
Tragic for all concerned but especially so for his family and friends. Accidents like this are so avoidable if everyone looked out for each other.
I hope he is remembered for the brightness he clearly brought to his loved ones.
Horrible, hope the family get all the answers they want and find peace. And justice if necessary.
Awful to hear, the First Bus drivers round here are pretty unapologetic regarding cyclists so I hope this wasn't something that could have been easily avoided. There was a Facebook thread where a few drivers were threatening to run cyclists down a while back, pretty horrible to see.
