  • I'm afraid we're very (metaphorically) attached to each other and couldn't possibly be parted.

  • Lovely words Giles - it's a day that everyone will remember for sure.
    Lets see you out Easts/wests some time soon!?

  • I am sure this has been answered a thousand times, but i havent the time to read the entire thread unfortunately, i was working the day of the ride and did not make it down, how do i acquire one of the spoke cards so i can support this?

  • ^ whey, that's me in the grey hoodie

  • just watched that, lovely video.

  • thats a really nice video, it brought back fond memories of the day.
    good work.

  • Beautiful, moving and be-fitting of the day.
    Well done to whomever put this together...x

  • That is a lovely piece of video.

  • Beautifully crafted video.

    Beautiful, moving and be-fitting of the day.
    Yes.

    Well done to whomever put this together...x

    Yes.

    Watching it has brought me a warm forum-glow. Special day.

  • Hey Lads & Lasses,

    Could you help me find names for these faces as I would like to credit the people in these images. Thanks!

  • Oh! And this fella too - - - Thanks very much!

  • last one is Lewis from Lewes

  • grey hoodie is ev_, and striped scarf behind him is photoben

  • yeah and the guy the other side of him in the check shirt and yellow t shirt is me.

  • Pristine white socks in the last photo belong to me. Hatrack in the background on the right.

  • .

  • The post in question has been deleted. And the user/bot who made it

  • I passed the Cinema the other day and it looks like they are redeveloping that junction and the traffic island. I hope it's with a view to making it safer. Wouldn't it be wonderful to think that something positive has come out of Eilidh's death.

  • 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

  • I'm going to bump this thread in the hope we can organise another ride.
    Not only in Memory of Eilidh, but also in memory of the many others who've left our ranks this year already, and as another chance to show how singularly we may be vulnerable, but as a community- we are much stronger than most.
    And by that I mean Cyclists, not fixengers.

    So Another Ride On?

  • i'd say yes.

  • Bit sad to see that no-one else says "yes"

  • Henry. A very good idea. Yes.

  • A good one - I would definitely be there.
