Today, cyclists across Wales and Britain paid their respects to the four cyclists from Rhyl Cycling Club who died last weekend in a tragic accident.

Many wore black armbands in silent tribute.

Cycling is an amazingly safe sport. You’re far safer on a bike than living a sedentary life, scoffing KrispyKreme doughnuts and knocking back Coke. But like any activity, pure chance sometimes mocks the stats. We grieve when loved ones are taken from us, whatever the odds.

Rhyl Cycling Club were back on the chaingang today. It was the best possible tribute to their fallen friends.
