    I rode through the intersection this afternoon. There are so many flowers you can barely see the ghost bike that was put up.

    that's very heartening to see people pull together, Kathy was a very special woman. I will try to hold onto the memory of the last time I saw them, that was on the Amgen the first day and time trial.

    Spazzdog and I had walked up to the end of the stage near Coit Tower when I heard a familiar voice yell "Hey Cuz!!" It was Maury and Kathy.

    They'd ridden into the city (not from Santa Rosa though I would not put that past them) and were there with their bikes. She was beaming, they looked so happy together.

    I remember that and many other times.

    Wow. Always tragic, and doubly so when it hits so close to home.
    My condolences to you and your family.

    Trek and Duck and UK, I'm so sorry! How horrible! How insensitive people can be! Trek I hope you've responded to that article to make those losers realise it doesn't stop with a cyclist, There's her family, friends, her fiancee to think of as well!

    NO cyclists should not be banned. Drivers do need to take more care on the road (as do we)

    Everyone PLEASE be careful.

    I'm doing Amy's Ride in two weeks (Amy Gillet). AGF is a foundation promoting Drivers awareness of cyclists and visa versa. May I write KATHY on one of the charity wristbands I'll be buying when I enter? I don't even know her but would like to just show my support to your family trek n Duck.

    I know she's half a world away. But a tradgedy is a tradgedy no matter where you are in the world. I'm so sorry.

    Duck and UK - I'm so sorry about this. I only just read the article (Trek told me not to, but once I got home I did).

    I send deepest sympathies to you and your family. That is so very sad. I will say a prayer for you.

    I'm so sorry.

    It is tragic, sad, and disheartening- all at the same time.

    I'm just very, very sorry.
    The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew--and live through it.
