I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, and am saddened I never shall. Such an established figure on the scene leaves an empty space which can never be filled; and should forever be remembered.
It shocks me to think how easily this has happened to someone who has ridden the streets for so long, and will henceforth make me consider just how fragile we are on the road - too often I get filled with dutch courage when cycling through the traffic of London. To see the folly of my attitude thrown in such stark light makes me realise how dangerous the roads can be.
Condolences and respects to those who knew him and his poor family.
