    My thoughts & wishes go out to the family of this cyclist This is something I hope no one here will go through.

    Apparently the road in question is one of the best on the NSW North Coast...

    That is heart-rending and awful.

    Is it in a remote area?

    Meanwhile, the woman who left the bicyclist-doctor to die by the side of the road in Ohio a year ago, was convicted last week only of misdemeanor hit-skip. Not leaving the scene of a fatality, and not even apparently assured clear distance ahead. Sentencing to follow, but if she gets any jail at all, it'll be minimal.

    They're only bicyclists, after all. Shouldn't have been on the road to begin with.
