A tragic loss of life, but having come close to hitting a few cyclists who perennially seem to jump reds I can’t help but feel there’s blame on both sides…

How do you link the URL to the word “here” Tim?

You mean all the time you spend posting on this board and you don’t know?!? 😉

Select the text you want to make the link and then click on the hyperlink icon on the toolbar, the one that looks like a globe/the earth with a chain link next to it, paste in the url to the page you want to link to, easy! 😃

Strictly speaking, and this is with my web design/developers head on, you should never create links that simply say ‘click here’, ‘here’, ‘further info’ or ‘read more’ as they are inaccessible. So my link above should really say something like…

There’s already a discussion about [this driver getting 4 years for dangerous driving](http://londonbikers.com/forums/Topic320832-58-1.aspx) in another thread.

That way if the link is taken out of context is still makes sense. 😃
