RIP.

There was also a fatality in Devizes on Saturday, a fella from Melksham.

And also a serious but thankfully not a fatal at Southwick this morning.

Stay safe out there people, it seems like they are out to get us!

No real change there, Ride defensively and don't take for granted that you have been seen, Ride like you are invisible because to most road users WE are

Yeah, it’s peak season I suppose, bikes everywhere & spirits high.
Go careful folks :)

Always sad to hear, it's busy on the roads in places and we all take chances sometimes that perhaps we shouldn't. Ride safe all

I did a Bikesafe course years ago, very informative and one of the prompts to get on and do my IAM training and badge

I've done a couple over the years, most informative and constantly being updated. Well worth it.
