Hi
a pedestrian was killed in Melbourne, Australia last year by a cyclist. It was part of what they call the 'Hell Ride' - up to 200 cyclists participating in a weekly 75 kilometre high-speed ride through Melbourne's bayside suburbs.
Just thought I'd post it for people who group ride in busy areas to be aware that bikes can also be dangerous! Of course, it is hard to stop when people are telling you to run the red light. Not a good position to be in!
