Chris Reeves was on his way to work when two cats fighting in the street cut across his path.

The 52-year-old Network Rail signaller was found semi-conscious by a passer-by.

He was airlifted to Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry and died five days later .

His son, Dominic , is now calling on all cyclists to "wear a bloody helmet".

Dominic and his family said they have been inundated with messages of support on social media.

Dominic said his father wanted to bring people together, to remember the good times and basically have one big piss-up.

"I'm eternally grateful to my dad and extremely grateful to everyone that donates," said Dominic .
