Plenty of comments that we can all absorb and take on board. I never met Dan but what people have wrote about him suggests he was a larger than life character with a fun mischievous nature.
Yesterday was meant to be a celebration for me but it was sombre event, I thought about Dan all day and the people he left behind. If like me you have a partner and children, it doesn't bear thinking about
It was a tragic accident and a reminder of how privileged we should feel when waking up each morning..........I know I have already changed some things and thinking a lot more but I wish the circumstances were different.
People have mentioned that something should change as a result, I have for myself because for me that is the best thing I can do as a mark of respect to him and will be everlasting.
RIP Dan

Some good points made on this thread.
I for one have been hit hard by this, as I know others have from Saturday and I will definately not be doing another ride in London , maybe anywhere.
The bottom line is , none of us would get on our road/ mountain bikes and ride around without a lid, yet it's considered ok ( or was ) , to knock back beers and ride around a busy city? Stupidity at its greatest.
It's worth saying at this point , that Dan had only had one beer.
It's terrible that this has happened , but hopefully , only good can come from it.
Such a massive loss.
RIP DAN x

I still can't believe one of our own lost his life on a bike ride, just so tragic. I never met Dan but from seeing some of the videos and reading stuff about him I would have liked to.
The helmet thing, I know there are arguments for and against but I went over the handlebars of my racer last year and smashed the side of my head onto the road. It bloody hurt and I sat dazed on the pavement for 5 minutes but considered myself lucky and took it as a warning. You can of course trip over while walking and bang your head but of course it's a slower speed.
You do only live once though and have to do things you enjoy otherwise what is the point?
Ride In Peace Dan $.
