[marty]

Friend of mine (family friend of my mum and dad over last 40 years - used to call him uncle when i was a kid) was hit off his bike when commuting to work earlier in the week - car pulled out in front of him. He has been on life support since the crash, but died earlier this afternoon due to extensive internal injuries.

RIP Derek.

If I am to go on a bike then it should have been while I was racing, as a reult of my own mistake or even from an exploding motor. To go as a result of a cage drivers "sorry, I did not see you" is just not fair.
