Cycling Tradgedy a Wake-Up Call for Drivers

On 1 June 2008, 28 year-old American man Jesse Campos drove his car into a group of cyclists - just 15 minutes into their 34km race.

Jesse was driving drunk and had been taking cocaine before he got in his car. 37 year-old Mexican man Alejandro Alvarez was killed and his friends cycling with him were badly injured.





The first time I saw this photo, I was sure that it was computer-generated, someone's sad idea for a joke. Look at the carnage.

You don't have to be tanked on alcohol and drugged up on cocaine to kill a cyclist. Please be considerate - don't pull out in front of cyclists, look before you open your car-door, give them plenty of space as you pass them on the road.
