I've only moved to London recently so was totally unaware of all this until today... I've just spent two hours reading through the various threads on Eilidh trying to keep the tears from my eyes...
I don't know that many cyclists in London, so my experience of riding in the city so far has been mostly of drivers, which left me with somewhat of a bitter taste of city cycling.
Reading this, I am utterly, utterly moved by the reaction and response from everyone here.
It's hard to put into words just how renewing it is to see how powerful, careing and warmhearted people can be, despite the ever growing apathy and bitterness in the world.
It saddens me though how it takes the death of a beautiful young woman for such kindheartedness to be clearly heard over the horns and swearing.
Sometimes I find it hard not to feel sickened by humanity and its people, but this whole story is a big reminder to just how huge some people's hearts can be.
Londonfgss, you guys have created something truly great and pure.
P.S.:
Rest in peace, Eilidh
