Just watched Wiggins being interviewed,the next thing I read is this.

yes just seen the announcement

Indeed. Very sad and very ironic timing. Bradley's victories and the surgence of some of his teammates will put cycling in the spotlight and make it more fashionable mode of transport. This will unfortunately put some people off and it's difficult to blame those people.

"We can confirm that a cyclist tragically died as a result of a collision with a bus carrying media from the Olympic Park this evening."

When a cyclist has been killed they always say as a result of a collision with a vehicle which implies that the cyclist hit the vehicle and not the vehicle hit the cyclist.

tbf walking to work in central london monday to friday i am surprised more cyclists aren't killed... i enjoyed road biking when lived in the north... my bike has sat in the kitchen ever since moved to london

sad story but cycling in london is lethal

Media cover their backs to avoid apportioning any blame before any court case, etc.
