You know something? I'd never heard of Jane Tomlinson until I read your
post - then it was mentioned on the news headlines this afternoon.
Even worse - it was reported that she lived in Leeds, as do I!

Didn't you say you didn't have a telly? Perhaps that's why because
she'd figured on the local news a lot, at least in Manchester, and
that for a few years. I've got lots of friends on bikes as well,
serious bikers, and recently a friend went to cycle in Cuba for
charity and he had met her in London for an event prior to her going
to New York. I got interested a few years ago with the bike manchester
'critical mass' movement and went to a few gathering, just to stop the
traffic. Biking charity events where being promoted there and Jane
Tomlinson had become well known already.

Anyhow - it's good to see that she will be remembered for her courage
- and for the bikes we all should be on )
