  • This hits me deeply as my dad is a biker loves his bike rides and he was knocked of his bike travelling with my younger brother because the driver of the other vehicle didn’t look where he driving, safe to say I always say make sure you come home today specially if my mum is on it behind him

  • Why feel the need to say that?? Why do people see a article about a motorist hitting a biker and everyone assumes it was the bikers fault? Does it matter who’s fault it was when someone loses a life, a child loses a father or mother?? My husband and I are bikers and I haven’t been able to get on a bike since having my child out of pure fear of other drivers! I have never acted like an idiot on a bike and I have lost count of the times someone in a car hasn’t looked properly and nearly hit us!

  • This hits home as my partner was knocked off his bike this year and as a family we are now left to deal with the aftermath of his recovery physically, emotionally and financially
