Cyclist Julien Trameaux, who was tragically killed when he was hit by a car at Double Bay on Monday, has been remembered as a hard-working and generous Frenchman.
The 26-year-old was on a working visa in Australia and had two jobs – he worked six days a week as a labourer for Pimas Gale Construction and at night, he was a delivery cyclist for UberEATS.
He worked long hours as he had set himself a three-year plan to open a French patisserie in Sydney.

Local community member Carla Hetherington, has started a petition at https://www.change.org/p/gabrielle-upton-mp-create-a-separate-bike-lane-on-new-south-head-road/. We urge the community to support this call for increased safety in this area.
No more tragic and preventable cyclist deaths in the Eastern Suburbs due to lack of cycling infrastructure! We need a separated cycle path option so that people can ride their bikes safely to the city.
It’s ridiculous that an area as highly populated as Woollahra Council (275,000 people) – not to mention so close to the city – does not have a safe cycle route. Being forced to ride on the side of a three-lane road where there is not even a road shoulder is not good enough for 2017.
A father of four and brilliant doctor and a 26-year-old legend working two jobs to save for a dream have now been killed for no justifiable reason. This is about basic safety, not an ideological competition between cars and bikes, or bikes and pedestrians. People’s lives are so much more important than opinions.
Build safe bike routes now!
This petition will be delivered to:
Attorney General of New South Wales
Gabrielle Upton MPMember for Sydney
Alex GreenwichMayor of Woollahra
Peter CavanaghDirector of Technical Services, Woollahra Council
Tom O’Hanlon
