Tributes paid to "deeply loved" cyclist killed in Bovingdon crash
Nigel Woodhead, from St Albans, died in the collision last month
The family of a keen cyclist, who was killed in a crash in Bovingdon last month, have paid tribute to him.
Nigel Woodhead's wife and daughters have released a statement, saying he "was a deeply loved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to many" and that "It is impossible to come to terms with the sudden and tragic loss".
Mr Woodhead, from St Albans, was killed after a being involved in a crash on Bovingdon Green, whilst on his bicycle on Friday 24th May.
The tribute, from his wife and daughters, said:
"Nigel was a deeply loved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend to many. It is impossible to come to terms with the sudden and tragic loss of such a caring, self-less, and intelligent man who was so full of life and excited about his future.
“We have been blown away by the outpouring of kind words about Nigel, who touched the lives of so many people with his wise words, attentive ears, and mischievous sense of humour.
“Cycling was one of Nigel’s favourite pastimes, which had been a passion of his for decades. Just the week prior to his death he was proud to have completed a solo cycle of the Pennine Cycleway, a 350-mile trip which he completed in four days. He was aspiring to complete a cycle from John O’Groats to Land’s End in the not-so-distant future, which we are gutted he never got to achieve.
"However, Nigel’s greatest passion was us, his family. He was the best husband and father we could ever imagine, and he devoted his life to providing for us. We were an inseparable family unit, with a bond that transcends life and death.
“Nigel/dad, a life without you is unimaginable, if our love was enough to keep you here, you would have been here forever.”
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact Hertfordshire Police.
