What a tragic waste

Condolences to the family.

Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

There seems to have been a few incidents in that area. I remember there was another cyclist serviceman killed there 5/6 months back.

So sad. RIP fella.

Little bit callous to have a van advert at the bottom of that article though...

I thought this. I doubt it is intentional though.

Woeful news. RIP.

a soldier too. pitiful waste. at ease that man.

It's not it's just AdSense being squirted the VAN keyword so it show ads for Van Drivers etc.

Rest In Peace, brave man.
My thoughts are with your loved ones.

Oh no, how distressing. RIP. :(

R.I.P.

I just saw this - gutted - all those tours and you get taken out by a WVM
RIP

very sad, rest in peace

Very sad, RIP.

i'm confused though, i thought all the cycle lanes were separated from the road on the A40. I grew up round here and its not the best for cycling to be honest, suburban drivers are terribly inconsiderate.

Thoughts & prayers to family & friends.

RIP

Very Sad news. Thoughts are with his fellow men and family

thoughts and prayers for rider, family and friends.

i have written to my mp (yet again).

Horrible news, thoughts for his family.

Nasty accident, what a waste- thoughts go to his family. Quite a few riders I know use bits of the A40 to get out to Denham etc.

Just saw the sentence given to the driver - 100 hours community service. I Dont know the details of how the collision occurred but I feel sick. Can't imagine how the family feel.

Just disgusting...... I'm actually lost for proper words. How can this be justice carried out, in anyones eyes?
