RIP Dan $.

Truly saddened by this news, met Dan on a santas ride with Nicola and has great banter with him ever since!

I cant imagine how his children and Belved Nicola are feeling.

To lose your life when having a days fun out, is just so wrong.

Rip Dan Cash Code Stevenson

with all the tributes to him, and his nature, he is obvioulsy going to be sorely missed

My heart goes out to Nicola and his kids, such a cruel & tragic loss

Dan was such a warm and friendly guy and as can be seen much loved by many people, we were devastated to hear the news come through of his accident - I didn't handle it too well tbh but thankfully had some good mates around

As has been said already this has given many of us (& our families) a lot to think about.
This could just as easily have been one of us, no amount of planning is going to remove the danger of riding in a place like London, even if you find a route that is mostly off-road then you have to find a way to get there and back which will still mean braving the traffic.

While organisers can demand people wear helmets, as long as there is no legal requirement it will remain a personal choice - but I think that many will consider doing it now.

It's a horrible reminder of just how fragile life is - nothing can be taken for granted and we should all try and get along a bit better while we're still here.

R.I.P. Dan - you'll be missed mate  :'(

x600se:
Tragic and devastating news. His poor family. Couldnt believe I was reading this about a rad ride having been to so many of the MK's. As has been said this brings it right home.

FFS take care lads and wear helmets   :'(

RIP

Terrible news. I didn't know Dan, but we have lost one of our own, and that is very sad.

Perhaps it is time to reconsider how we organise our rides?

The gatherings are the reason I stay into this hobby; the bikes are now really just a means to that end for me. When I think about how I tear arse around on our rides, minus helmet, and plus a few beers, this weekend's sad loss has made me realise that we are not invincible just because we are on a kid's bike.

Getting back on a style of bike that I had so much fun when I still had the innocence and naive invincibility of childhood does not mean that I am actually invincible, even if those childhood memories prompt the feeling.

Dan's legacy could be to ensure that our rides become safer, whilst being no less fun; I will sign up to that and take me helmet in future.

RIP Dan; gone but not forgotten.

Richard.
