  • I think a ride would be a great idea and we could extend the honour to all the cyclists who have been killed and injured. A joyful and peaceful ride, maybe we could all wear white.

    Spot on.

    My take, apologies if it sounds preachy:

    By all means use this tragic event as a catalyst, but don't centre whatever action results on it. If there is to be a tribute, make it to all cyclists killed or injured, from the girl on her fixed-wheel to the middle-aged suit on a brompton.
    If a ride-out is the concensus, why not a fun-run. A celebration of cycling, with as many ages and machines represented. By all means people can make personal tribute, like on a 'moon-walk'.
    Spoke cards is good, make them a fiver though eh! Start a giving fund and let other groups know.
    The proceeds can be used to offer discounted/free cycle training, perhaps to schools, youth groups etc.

    I'm pretty sure this will make the news, the death of young women often does. Lets throw our net nice and wide and offer a truly positive tribute.
