A sunset vigil was on Monday night for a cyclist who was tragically killed in a collision with a truck in the Newcastle CBD last week.
It's believed Brigitte Nilsen was on her way to yoga class last Wednesday morning when she was involved in a collision on the corner of King and Perkins Streets and died at the scene.
The 57-year-old had been living in Newcastle for 5 years after returning from Norway to live in Australia for the second time.
She's survived by her 30-year-old son, Jack who lives in Norway.
Friends and members of the public rode from the crash site to Newcastle Ocean Baths where Ms Nilsen loved to go for a swim.
