It is very sad. And it is even more sad that these deaths are not being reported in the news.
Theres nothing like government self promotion to make out that they care for the cleanliness of our air and our health and recommending we all go green. They sweep under the carpet the mass of deaths happening to bikers because on the streets - the tax-paying car is King.
It's all about the money. You can buy a BMW built like a tank if you have the money. You can't buy a bike like that. The council should have implemented safety for these dead riders.
R.I.P. nice lady.
