Anyone got more details of the cyclist that was taken down this morning on Great North/Pomona Rd ?

Kept hearing it on the traffic reports this morning and then my colleague at work mentioned he drove past and it did not look good at all.

There was a post on the Finish Line Cycles Whatsapp group this morning, stating the a fellow rider passed away today. Not sure if pointing to the same incident, but seems to be so. No details unfortunately.

Very sad if that is the case.

Its sickening that we have to deal with these idiots aswell as the thugs trying to take our bikes by force

 

 

From the time lines that my colleague mentioned, I must have passed on the opposite side of the road shortly before it happened.
