Former Cyclingnews editor Ben Abrahams was killed in a car crash while driving near his home in Aberdeen last week. He was 32 and leaves behind a wife and two young children.
Abrahams, who was an avid cyclist, worked for Cyclingnews from 2006 through 2008, but had since moved onto a successful career as an engineer.
Then-Cyclingnews owner Gerard Knapp remembered Abrahams:

"Needless to say, his enthusiasm and love of cycling scored him the job, as well as showing a fair degree of initiative.
