So sorry to hear this.

Tragic. RIP, Dan. My thoughts are with your friends and family.

So so so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with every one touched by this. I wish I could think of more to say.

Awful news. RIP.

R.I.P Dan - My thoughts go to his family and friends

RIP Dan....

Too sad for words. Rest in peace Dan.

Terrible news, this happened on the road I live on, this sucks!
My deepest condolences for the people who cared for him. RIP

such sad news.
RIP Dan
sincere condolences.

:-( RIP
Horrible news. Condolences to family and friends.

Sometime tomorrow we're building and painting a bike for him and will be chaining it up on the junction. We actually have his first track bike frame (its an awful resprayed create thing he got ripped off on...as many of us initially do..) and I think we have enough bits and bobs between us.

If anyone wants to add something to the memorial then I'd say that if you want to give flowers you can but even better bring something random. Dan was known for freaking people out at 4am (when you're brain is mush and reality is difficult) with his odd odd shows of affection for robotic chickens and other mechanical beasts / objects. Mind expansion.

We'd love to see all sorts of random shit tied to the railings.

Dan is one of my oldest and best friends and he's influenced so many people over the years and the poeple who have been here for him over the last couple of days are testimony to that. The world has lost out.

thanks.
