Until the authorities report, I am concerned about speculation and feel that it is wiser and more compassionate to wait on the report.

That says a couple of things to me:
1: the issue of rider safety is not as simple as managing rider fatigue
2: Australian attitudes to cyclists - just, wow. And not in a good way.
Of course, we all live #2 every day, but to hear it come from him, with his reputation and palmares, with his experience of cycling worldwide, posthumously, I'm just so angry and sad. This has to stop.
This week I will write up all my recent near misses that I have collected video and measurement evidence on, as well as a near-dooring, and send them in. My motivation has been lagging due to the friction encountered, but now it takes on a new importance.
RIP Mike Hall.

I guess unless anyone else was in the vicinity at the time the one with the most knowledge is the poor driver of the vehicle involved.
I did mention to the constable that the shoulder of the road is virtually non existent for quite a distance just prior to the pole where the flowers have been placed. While I don't know the exact location of the collision if Mike had white line fever and was keeping it on his right he would have ended up in the rough just before where the collision may have occurred .

I feel as though he is still out there riding, like he always did, forever.
He revelled in the pain and the suffering and the adventure, and ultimately the joy and relief.
A legend of the sport that inspired a community to push your limits whilst being kind and generous.
Ride on, Mike.

Shows what a young body can do on little training or prior experience.

If you check during the day it's probably safe to say greyed it people are out, just check the timestamps to be sure.TonyMax wrote:Is there any way to tell which are still moving and which have pulled out completely? Those who haven't moved for 4 hours this morning might just be having a sleep/breakfast? It looks like one guy is on the Hume cutting out Cooma, but there are a few in Adaminaby and another couple headed my way who are on the move.

You can play around with the filters on the bottom left of the page, below the name list. For example, apart from the origin country, I only have the "no tracking' and "in progress" check boxes ticket. I stretch the 'in progress time out to 12 hours and that seems to capture everyone.TonyMax wrote:Is there any way to tell which are still moving and which have pulled out completely?

THanks for that. I've got a lot of respect for Juliana as a cyclist and communicator.baabaa wrote:This.

I guess it might satisfy some people's desires if the driver was charged, but it won't do anything for me. I feel for him or her, even if the driver is deemed to be "at fault" I doubt they left home that morning intending to run down a cyclist.
