    If the post wasn't about such a tragic topic I would be inclined to agree.

    Sorry, obviously not your best time of the month. Rather than just post a link, maybe comment on it or do something constructive rather than just blindly put links down that most people will have seen already.

    Being called a douche=bag by someone who relies on velo snooze is pretty funny though. GFY.

    Pretty much.

    The idea is that people see the news and then comment on it, and then you have a little discussion about it.

    And where was the comment in the first post? Blindly creating a new topic for every piece of cycling related news just clogs up the forum. Sure it's a sad story but does it really need posting and commenting? I don't think so.

    If nobody comments the thread will sink fairly quickly. Can't see what the big deal is.
