This is the cruellest outcome for a sport that we all love. How many times I encountered John’s humour on rides. We cycled at different paces, so I rarely shared the road with him; but he was a lively presence at Controls. It is so sad that many of those, with whom we share the road, do not recognise the consequences of a deliberate confrontation.
It is just ironic that within hours of John’s passing on Wednesday morning, CTC’s Roger Geffin spoke at length on BBC Breakfast Show on aspects of cycle safety.
