RIP rider, thought with family and friends.

Rider named as David Blake, 57, who gave up riding motorbikes as they were 'too dangerous'. Tragic: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/cyclist-57-killed-in-aldgate-crash-gave-up-riding-motorbikes-as-they-were-too-dangerous-9932281.html

A name and a face makes is so horribly real. RIP David.

RIP David, something has to be done to avoid anymore deaths.

FFS.

Rest in peace, David.

that's a really horrible road for cycling on,

possibly a ghost bike might warn others of the perils of such a route..

(alike those on the A10 junctions)

The speculation in that article is pretty outrageous.

Just looking through Internet stuff on David who is, was, my special brother. Thanks for all the kind words on this forum. We are still waiting for body to be released, already had to change funeral date. Sad end and start to the year shouldn't have happened he was very experienced rider.

Thoughts and condolences to you and your family. I hope he is released soon.

Body released finally on Thursday so funeral on Monday RIP David x
