RIP. How awful for family and friends. A bit too close to home too.

Thoughts for his friends and family.
RIP.

Awful. Deep sympathies to the riders friends. x

Oh dear :( RIP

Rip

My condolences to the riders family and friends.

2nd Citation

Sad news. RIP fellow rider.

Thanks for this. I have just reported the third comment in the waltham forest guardian link by Impuku as it is disgusting and victim blaming. Hopefully it will be removed

It won't be removed. I made the mistake of scrolling down in that citation. Never scroll down. So sad how rapidly these discussions can become divisive.

As is the case with very many of those 'on here' - I'm a cyclist in my 30s and many of my pals are cyclists in their 30s. A chilling reality check. Very sorry to read about this.

So unnecessary. RIP.

RIP, incredibly sad.

RIP fellow cyclist. And to think we'd had a good run of blue. Hope the perps are given some kind of justice.

R.I.P x

RIP. Yet another unnecessary loss.

Rip.

Depressing. Really feel for the guy's family. It looks from the second citation that a family member has had to read that bigoted shite posted about cyclists bringing it all on themselves. RIP, fella.

just plain sad

thoughts to the riders family and friends

Too early in the year for the logo to be back RIP

RIP, thoughts with all the family left behind after this tragedy

Horrible. I used to live round there and can honestly say I had some of my worst experiences with drivers there too. I find the further out of the city you go, the less drivers are aware of cyclists.

RIP mate.

So awful to see the black logo :( RIP

Really sad indeed. RIP rider.

RIP buddy x
