A tragic loss

Read this post about the loss of a fellow cyclist, Paul.

My initial reaction was anger at the attitudes of the young driver and his parents. Then JN reminded me that we met Paul many months ago when we first started out. We were cycling along YCK with our pride and joy (Trek, Specialized and Wilier), and lo and behold, two cyclists on foldable bike (Dahon) overtook us effortlessly on an upslope. We met up with them later at the roti prata shop at Jln Kayu and chatted some.

Paul was quiet and encouraging. He was passionate about cycling. He is a victim of drunk driving.

really very sorry to hear this news. i hope that formal justice is done and that family money doesn't allow this drunk driver to get off the hook.
