Cyclist killed on Sir Lowry's pass

[Krypt0n1te]

On my way to Oak Valley MTB I passed the accident scene. Must've been shortly after the accident as the police was busy putting out the cones and started to close the left lane.

 

Cyclist right in the middle of the left lane covered with a silver blanket. Bike about 10m further totally wrecked as can be seen on the pics.

 

Hope all hubbers are safe tonight, please be safe out there guys and girls and RIP fellow cyclist.

Couldn't help thinking about this song shortly after I passed the scene.

His name was Alessandro Valpergo according to what I'm seeing being shared on Facebook. Didn't know him but looks like he was well known and loved amongst the Somerset West cycling fraternity.

 

R.i.p Alessandro:(

Did not even think of that! You are correct, except for the cameras they have those average speed traffic cameras as well.

 

However, tonight there is a family somewhere that is mourning.

 

Makes me seriously reconsider to ever get a roadbike and rather stick with the MTB.

Very sad. Condolences to his family and everyone that knew him.

Sad news. Who ever hit him and ran off, I hope you find this thread. You will not sleep well knowing that you killed a man and you will be caught.

So Sad, prayers to the family and RIP to you bro.

I really do hope they have recording cameras fixed as well.

 

regardless; tons of thoughts for the family left behind.

Agreed. Prayers of comfort to ALL those he left behind, death is not something we as humans are designed and prepared to deal with,..its a terrible change of direction in a very short space of time.
