Sad day for cycling...

Ian Hibell, perhaps the greatest cycling adventurer ever, was killed in a hit and run

Thats terrible news. Still, he must have had a great life, so probably no regrets. Beats sitting behind a desk all day.

I have just noticed that the Guardian's report on this says "But, with sad inevitability, Ian Hibell met his end after being knocked off his bicycle in a collision with a car". Where's the inevitability? Are we supposed to accept that if you ride for long enough then you'll eventually be killed by a car driver?

Pretty impressive though that he went that long without getting run over.
