2012-07-15 - Rider Down/Fatality, Stonor (Henley On Thames)

A friend of mine was killed cycling on the A4130, and we all said at the time if only he had gone up the Stonor valley. The locals are now trying to stop cyclists training for and racing in the Henley triathlon on that road because of the risk. Why can't drivers just slow down, or the council reduce the speed limit?

I see the 'remember me' sign every day. My mate goes the A4130 when he rides to/from work and I go the Stonor road, at least there's fewer cars but I won't nag him quite so much now.

The area around Stonor is very popular with sportives and riders in general.
