Last Thursday, Ms Evelyn Toh, 39, became the latest member of the cycling community to die in a traffic accident.

Her husband, who would give his name only as Hoi Seng, said he snapped the photo on the day of the accident. He said his wife, whom he wed 11 years ago, liked to be photographed in her sports gear.

Her death follows that of Mr Benjamin Mok, 35, who died two months ago after he was hit by a suspected drunk driver. A 62-year-old general practitioner was arrested in the case.

There no place for bicycles on our roads. May i suggest the east coast park trail.

if you see so many cyclists along our roads,you will know why so many accidents...

more will be killed soon...some cyclists have their own rules....and they cycle everywhere...

for those who cycle in groups, they occupy too much space and they " speed " along narrow roads...a danger to themselves and a danger to others...

RIP.
