Plans to remember cyclist come as police bail a 52-year-old man arrested for dangerous driving

Bath cyclists are joining together for a ride in memory of Jake Gilmore, a teenage rider who died in a hit-and-run last weekend.

There, they will hold a one minute silence before laying flowers and lighting candles in rememberance of the barman at the Lamb and Lion pub in Lower Borough Walls.

Further details can be found on a Facebook page set up for the ride.

Jake was knocked off his bike a week ago and was found with serious head injuries at around 9.30pm.

The 19-year-old died at the Royal United Hospital the following day.
Following the discovery by police of an abandoned, damaged car at Royal Victoria Park, a 52-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, and has been released on bail pending further inquiries.
