More than 80 cyclists have paid tribute to French woman Anais Thouvenot who died after being involved in a collision with a car while riding her bike.

She died in hospital a week after being injured in the accident at the junction of Regent Road and Upper King Street in Leicester city centre.

The tribute was organised on Friday evening by the Leicester Critical Mass group which organises monthly rides in the city promoting the rights of cyclists.

Group member Ian Nutt said: "Last night's ride was particularly special as the 80 plus riders of all ages, shapes and sizes stopped at the site of the recent fatal accident involving Anais Thouvenot.

"Critical Mass created a floral tribute to the woman who died earlier in the month.

"It was a touching moment on what is always a fun ride."

Following the accident on Sunday, November 9 Ms Thouvenot, a 22-year-old French national, was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, where she died the following Sunday.

The collision with a car happened, at about 5.50pm.

Ms Thouvenot lived in Oldbury in the West Midlands.
