Outpouring of support as community grieves father, 39, killed on bike ride
Cayman’s cycling community say that they have been encouraged by the support from drivers in the days after father-of-two Per Undheim, 39, was killed while on an Easter Monday morning bike ride.
“There was a larger group of us cycling this morning and we noticed that cars were giving us more space, we got the occasional wave, people flashed to let us go ahead and an ambulance put its lights on in support too,” said Cayman Cycling vice president Wayne Kirkconnell on Thursday morning. “It’s sad that it takes something like this tragic event but it’s much appreciated.”
