00:03A silent moment of remembrance.
00:08To Brian Ryan, thank you for coming into our lives.
00:16Ending a ride showing the support from a shocked cycling community.
00:20I think the turnout today has been really lovely for the families, hopefully something
00:25that they'll remember, as opposed to the last two weeks that they've had.
00:30Coming to terms with a tragedy.
00:33I feel like I've lived a lifetime in two weeks.
00:36This incident has had a profound impact on myself and on the wider community.
00:42Bridie Lee and Ryan Reithmuller were killed during an early morning group ride with their
00:47triathlon club, the Bilbys.
00:49We ride on Thursday mornings, the first week after the accident one person turned up, the
00:54second week there were five.
00:56There's recognition here for those lost and for the danger faced on Canberra's roads.
01:02We share a space on the road and we all know what it is like to be out there, to
01:08share that
01:09road with traffic and feel very vulnerable while doing it.
01:12We get up in the morning, we go out cycling and we do that without, most of the time without
01:18even saying goodbye to our families.
01:19Because we don't expect to not come home and we shouldn't expect to not come home.
01:26A ride of solidarity and support that no rider wants to repeat.
01:31Don't
01:36Don't
