A group of cyclists walked their bikes from the corner of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive to Parliament Hill Thursday night to honour the life of a cyclist killed in Toronto earlier this week.
The group held a moment of silence for Darcy Allan Sheppard, 33, who died Monday night after an altercation with a motorist in downtown Toronto.
Cycling advocates say the incident demonstrates more needs to be done to show drivers the importance of sharing the road.
Former Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant faces charges of criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in connection with the case. The criminal negligence charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Bryant is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 19. He was told by a judge not to drive a motor vehicle or leave the country in the meantime.
