Countryfile investigates cyclist deaths on rural roads
Tonight Countryfile has a cycling flavour, with a look at the new Greenway which I think is the HS2 funded reworking of the Kenilworth Greenway, but the main interest is the look at cycling deaths on rural roads. I am aware of two parts, one is my mate Jo Ness and a campaign she is part of "More than a cyclist" (https://www.morethanacyclist.org/) which is attempting to address the dehumanisation of cyclists. Second is an interview with the family of Tony Satterthwaite who was a local Solihull CC cyclist who got killed by a speeding Porsche driver (who avoided jail because the judge apparently considered the trauma of the teenage boy in the passenger seat but not the trauma of Tony's family). 6.45 on Countryfile tonight, iPlayer thereafter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0017xtw
