I wonder how his girlfriend is?
Very sad. It unfortunately shows that the statistics are correct regarding left handers being the most dangerous. Reflect on this next outing. |

terribly sad news
Whether or not he was on here, I think we'd condsider any SVer that so clearly loved the ride as one of our own. |

I used to have a similar attitude to cycling on public roads. Forever grateful I was lucky and slowed down enough to enjoy fatherhood. |

Terrible story for any father to have to compose. I also am concerned as to the condition of the girlfriend?
In addition I cannot ignore the fact that the young chap did appear to be somewhat overly cavalier in his riding style. Straight lining bends with a pillion on the back? With no thought as to the possibility of encountering oncoming traffic?Again another senseless waste due to inexperience and the indestructable mentallity of youth. I do feel that dad should have tried to impress upon him more the folly of his riding style. I am not being heartless I am being completely matter of fact, this whole story scares me as my son is fast coming up to owning a bike stage! My heart goes out to all of those affected by this sad incident.
