Oh no, I was hoping it wouldn't be @Akis . I remembered a PM conversation with him yesterday when the name was mentioned and I checked the database for the email, Googled, and found the surname and was just waiting, hoping, that it wouldn't be a person I'd spoken to. It makes it more real and upsetting.

It is with great sadness and grief that I announce we have had official confirmation that Akis Kollaros was invlolved in a fatal collison with a lorry late yesterday afternoon in Homerton, London.
I find it hard to type these words, especially as I was riding with him just a week or so ago. The death on the road of a fellow LD, and this maybe the first in such a way, is a hard, hard pill to swallow. I offer my sincerest wishes to Akis' family, friends and fellow riders.
Please post/record your thoughts, great memories, condolences, best wishes or whatever you deem 'right' here to mourn the loss of a fellow rider.
This is indeed another hard day not just for London Dynamo but for all London Cyclists.
