It occurred to me last night, the amount of cyclists that die and their names are only in print for a short time before they become another statistic. It would be nice to have a sticky thread, like a memorial, for their name to be mentioned in memory only, no debates, no opinions, no discussions about what happened. Our own memorial for them. Just their name, age, where they died and the date? If you agree, can we make it a "sticky"?

(Please private message the poster if there is an error in their post so it doesn't spoil the thread)

Perhaps we could start with these?

Name: Alan Neve

buggi, it's not for me but I appreciate your sentiments.
 
Are we allowed to express out views?

Or just list people?

I am confused by the post.

Anyway, if I get killed can you please not include my name.

well that's true but as there's already a debate on here it kind of defeated the object of the thread, which is why i put "no debates, no opinions, no discussions about what happened. Just names". And to message privately if you wanted to say something to correct a post so the "wall" didn't get spoiled. It was just supposed to be like a memorial wall.
 
That's why I was confused, cos you said no opinions and then asked for an opinion - "if you agree can we make it an sticky?"

I appreciate your sentiments: if the mods agree you could start again, maybe put a picture on the "wall", if you know what I mean, a sort of virtual grave stone.
It's not my cup of tea, but then what do I know, wait until more members answer.

Whats wrong with remembering those that have died on our roads.If we agree on just placing what was given on the first post, every post following could then be deleted & The Wall re-started with the first post!

sorry that was kind of aimed at shaun but i did put about private messaging. Perhaps i should have debated it separately first. If people agree we can start again, I'll log on this time tomorrow see what opinions are on here, and if its wanted we'll delete this and start again
