Cyclists in Navarra and Valencia call for drivers to take greater care

AT LEAST 500 cyclists staged a demonstration in the middle of Pamplona (Navarra) yesterday (Sunday) followed by a rally throughout the northern city calling for drivers to be more careful around two-wheeled travellers and for safer road conditions.
A total of 21 biking clubs and cycle touring associations started off from the village of Tafalla and ended in Pamplona in front of the Navarra regional government headquarters at around noon.
En route, they stopped off at Unzué to pay tribute to cyclists who had lost their lives out riding.
Their demonstration comes a week after a smaller version in the eastern Spanish town of Oliva (Valencia) in tribute to local cyclist, 38-year-old Juan Antonio Rojo, who remains in a critical condition in hospital in Dénia (Alicante) after being knocked off his bike on the road from Oliva to Pego, just south over the provincial border.
