We all love the RAD rides and they are getting bigger each year. I think we should sit back and take a good look at what has happened here . Accidents do happen , but this can't happen again . We were jumping red lights, me included . The ride organisers need to learn from this horrible accident. Make changes to routes . Avoid roads where possible. All stick together .. There were a few groups on Saturday splitting off . We all need to abide to the laws of the road in the future . RIP DAN . Carl
I found about this on Monday as I was heading off on holiday to the TT races. I didn't know Dan in person but had seen him on Facebook in the same Bmx chats. I actually felt sick and very sad as I left, for someone I'd never met it hit me quite hard. It's making me think very hard about my next ride out that I join in. On previous rides I've been riding around on my Bmx with 6 pints in me, on the road amongst traffic. I would never do that in my car or on my motorbike but I've thought nothing about doing it on a road on a Bmx.I don't want to go into it, but I've seen some very dangerous riding on previous ride outs. Very naughty stuff done in traffic that was done deliberately to play games with motorists. As others have said I hope we can move on from this and all take time to think about making ride outs safer.
