My deepest sympathies go out to the families who have been impacted by this unfortunate event.
Ridiculous how dangerous cycling is now , rip to the poor guy and his fam
Not a "crash" .
😞 I have two sons who cycle this is horrifying.. R.I.P xxx
Let’s be honest cyclists are a law to themselves they never stick to the rules of the road the amount of cyclists I see riding straight through red lights is unbelievable if as a driver I’ve got to stay over 1m away from them the same rule should apply to them rip to the man who lost his life and my condolences to his family
Things have to change
This is absolutely heartbreaking. Rip. 😢
🙏❤️
Horrific but as other people have commented some cyclists are hardly Saints
