Cyclists ask for safer roads following Easter Monday’s hit-and-run death
Cayman’s cyclists are calling for change following the tragic death of physiotherapist and father-of-two Per Undheim, 39, who was knocked off his bike during an early morning bike ride on Easter Monday.
Undheim’s death after being hit by a car while cycling through Bodden Town has shocked the community, but collisions between cars and cyclists are all too common on Cayman’s roads, with many cyclists reporting being on the receiving end of incidents on a regular basis.
Cayman Cycling Vice President Wayne Kirkconnell told the Compass that injuries were frequent.
