Ah… tragic… this happened to members in our club last year – no fatalities like your story or Silver’s but 3 cyclists down…
I posted the story here.

Like your story it was a young driver, a clear stretch of road, no other traffic about… they were in the cycle lane, he knocked two sideways and ran into one – she went into his windscreen and her bike went under the car..
I was just so VERY angry.
Our three cyclists are all back on their bikes and have been coming back to races and riding with close friends. Softly, gently, back to their passion.

UGH!
So sad! It just sickens me to hear such things.
But another thing that sickens me is reading the comments.
No it's not an "accident", but slinging mud is not going to do any good either.
I have to wonder what Mr. matty is thinking as he looks down on all of this...
sigh...
I think helping the yield to life campaign is a good way to honor all our fallen comrades.
