Rhyl cycling club

Posted by Rob Irvine on January 8, 2007 10:48 AM | 

A difficult front page today. This marks the anniversary of the tragedy in which four members of Rhyl Cycling Club died in a road accident. The vast and complex police investigations are drawing to a conclusion and the inquests are still to take place, meaning that many people are quite understandably reluctant to comment in detail at present.
What I can say is that all of us at the Daily Post were very shocked and upset by the tragedy and equally moved and impressed by the way friends and supporters - cyclists and non-cyclists - have rallied round the bereaved.
I've been a cycling enthusiast all my life (albeit a bit of an armchair one in the past few years). This is a wonderful part of the world to explore on two wheels. Yes there are risks but there are so many benefits to be had by cycling.
One thing I have invested in is a helmet and nowadays I wouldn't dream of riding without one. They've come down in price and they are as light as a feather so don't be put off - get your lid on!
