Mourning the loss of a fellow cyclist

I'm often amazed at the consideration a lot of vehicles give cyclists. After a verbal exchange with a Calais driver the other morning I am really sad to hear that a cyclist was killed in the city this morning. The article is here.

If you asked me which vehicles were the least considerate I'd have to say busses. My CBD cycling buddies may disagree but given the circumstances of the accident and my experiences with them I have to say Bus Drivers beware, look out for cyclists!

On this sombre note my thoughts and prayers go to the family of the woman that was hit. I pray that something good comes out of it and would ask all my cycling friends to be wary of all vehicles when riding.
