National Road Safety Committee focuses on cyclist safety
Cyclists continue to advocate for better road conditions — especially since the death of Per Undheim, a cyclist who was knocked off his bike and killed on Easter Monday.
Wayne Kirkconnell, Vice President of Cayman Cycling, says changes are needed as cyclists are forced to navigate dangerous drivers.
The ministry responsible for roads is advocating for immediate action, including better enforcement, updated infrastructure, and a shift in public attitudes towards cyclists.
In conjunction with the National Roads Authority and the National Road Safety Committee, a list of recommendations has been compiled.

‘Distinguished’ bikers ride for cancer
A group of Cayman riders hopped on their motorcycles on Sunday, 18 May to raise money as part of the global initiative known as the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.
Participants were encouraged to polish their boots and to dress in dapper fashion for the ride, which takes place in more than 1,000 cities in 108 countries. More than 125,000 riders around the world took part in this year’s event.
US$60 million has been raised for the cause since the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was established in 2012. One rider in Ontario, Canada raised more than $61,000 on his own this year.
