Cyclist Jim Fleming killed in Gerrard's Cross, leaving orphaned son.. police looking for witnesses/information. I just saw this on the news and found some articles:

I ride this stretch of road most weekends on the way to the Chilterns and during that recent TT. It worries me that this rider was probably more visible than me and it worries me further that people can hit someone and continue on, leaving someone to die. Sometimes I hate humans.
