Two cyclists collect effects

QUOTE:
"A woman was on day release from a mental health unit when she drove for three hours to jump off the Humber Bridge, an inquest has heard.

Max Leefe, 47, had spent around eight weeks at a mental health facility, but left her home on August 19, 2018, in a distressed and agitated state after visiting her young family.

Her grey-coloured clothing, shoes and handbag were collected by two cyclists who had been crossing the Humber Bridge at around 10.40am and a member of the public phoned for the police."

I just can't see what this has to do with cycling.
What am I missing, Simon?

The victim's personal items were QUOTE: "collected by two cyclists who had been crossing the Humber Bridge" It is in the story I posted.

When we used to cycle across the bridge in 2006-2011, we also sometimes would meet people loitering by the bridge barriers and on one occasion, we talked this distressed woman down.

Gosh! I bet the thieving cyclists went through her handbag.

sometimes would meet people loitering by the bridge barriers and on
one occasion, we talked this distressed woman down.

Is that it then?

We talked her down and she didn't jump off - presumably she got help like I did in 2013 when I did the same thing.
