    This is tragic. I feel your pain, RR...

    Hits from behind are also very rare, it makes me wonder what happened, and very angry. How terrible...

    And yet another up and coming superstar is taken out by a car!!!

    WHEN IT WILL IT STOP! Luke Harrop, Amy Gillet and now Simon Peoples!

    Way to go drivers!!! You're wiping out a generation of our sports stars, olympic hopefuls and all around good people!

    WAKE UP!

    Sorry... It just angers me that Simon was struck from BEHIND. BEHIND!!!! As in the car was following him therefore would have been in their line of vision! It's senseless!

    *end rant*

    My deepest condolances to the peoples family...

    Thanks for your comments everyone

    Although not a member of Scott's family, or even a friend of a friend of a friend of the family, it is somehow good to know there are others out there who are mourning his loss as a stranger to the family as I am.

    Although the cultural divide is growing between Oz and NZ, terrible things like this make the ocean between us a little ditch.

    And Margo, you are so right... I am still not over the tragedy in Germany.

    I have battled with myself these last two days to allow my sons to go out and ride... to let them ride without all my scared, motherly, over-protectiveness.

    You aren't supposed to bury your children. How my heart goes out to Scott's mother and father.


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    It just seems to never end. It is a tragedy about that wonderful young man! I think our state (Arizona) is up to about 36 cyclist deaths this year; not to mention the cyclists who survived but are fighting to reclaim their former lives with serious and severe injuries. Be careful everyone
