Italy is at present trying to Establish a new law , " Vehicular Manslaughter " ! Recently the prosecutors in a death case there , on appeal had the original sentence for the death of a 24yo woman increased from 4 years to 14 years ! Italy has twice the number of Deaths compared to that of the UK . An " Act of Parliament " has been introduced and it is hoped will become law in the near future !
" The Thunderer " has in a few days done more for Cyclists’ safety than many other campaigns! Just about a week ago I blogged about their “ Cities for Cycling Campaign “ and between times nearly 4800 people have related their cycling experiences to the Times .
Amy Gillett a Cyclist I met all too briefly with her team mates at the “ Tour de Romandie “ was an Olympian Rower in the Australian Squad but converted to racing bikes before her untimely death in a training accident when Six of the AIS team were skittled by a young German Girl in Eastern Germany as they were on a training ride for the Tour of Thuringen . One of the stories related in The Times today is narrated by Rebecca Romero , also an Olympian Rower , who described the loss of a fellow rower , who was riding to rowing training ! Regrettably there is no comment facility on that story to advise of the common link , particularly since the UK and Oz are the Premier Cycle Racing Nations these days . I feel sure that Amy and Rebecca would have met in their rowing careers .
