Broken bike (CC licensed image by garryknight, www.flickr.com)Cyclist dies during Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100
A cyclist taking part in yesterday's Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 has died following a cardiac arrest during the event.
Organisers confirmed his identity as Nigel Buchan-Swanson, aged 69, who was married with three children and six grandchildren and lived in Chichester, West Sussex.
They said the cardiac arrest happened at Ockley Road around 56 miles into the route.
Mr Buchan-Swanson died despite the efforts of other cyclists and medical personnel at the scene.
His wife Deborah said: “Nigel was a much loved husband, father and grandfather. He was a very experienced cyclist and died doing something he loved.”
He had been raising money for Macmillan and his fundraising page can be found here.
Organisers added: "Everyone involved in Prudential RideLondon would like to express our sincere condolences to Nigel’s family and friends."
First held in 2013, there has been a fatality on the event most year's it has been run - unsurprising, given there are more than 25,000 participants - with cardiac arrest the most common cause of death.

Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Surely an ANPR camera would make it a doddle for police to enforce driving restrictions through there.
Generally it's not just ignorance, a term like vigilante is actually used by rightwingers to discredit activism. As always hypocrits to a (wo)man.

🤔 I bought the Allez Elite with 105 groupset for £1000 in 2021. Seems a very steep increase in price for barely any gains
Fantastic ride by Roglic specially after dropping his chain on that insane climb
Er. No. I don't think I'll chance it.
The Expanse is superb - hard sci-fi that has realistic space battles. The first few episodes suffer from poor sound mixing, but it gets better.
Friends of Woodhouse Moor are hardly representative of the local population. They are a fringe group made up from few sad busy bodies. If they want...
