Thanks again to James for sorting out this ride. I think it's important that we get out on the roads as a group to raise awareness of this issue as much as possible. These fatalities are tragically avoidable.
RIP Emma.
+2 thanks again James, good to see a big turnout and to put a few faces to names. My father in law runs a haulage company and this has spurred me on to find out if and what kind of awareness his drivers have of cyclists. I'll post a thread with what I find out but I'm afraid it'll be chilling for us. From what I can gather most of his time is spent dealing with insurance companies. He's a good guy though, so it would be good to start some sort of awareness campaign for drivers and cyclists alike.
