Senior cyclist who died in hit-and-run in Guelph identified
Tributes to Susan Bard have been popping up online after she died in a hit-and-run crash in Guelph last week.
The Guelph Horticultural Society said in a post that Bard, a woman in her late 70s, was a loving member of the group and a volunteer gardener. They added that she had been taking care of the gardens at the Guelph Youth Music Centre.
She was described her as having a heart of gold.
Bard was struck by a Ford sedan while riding her bike on Victoria Road North last Thursday. She died one day later.
