"He'd only recently started cycling home - to avoid the tube during the Olympics. Sad irony."

In a very ironic twist of fate I am so glad I clicked this link 5 seconds later.

Just had the Call that Dan died yesterday. GUTTED doesn't even come close. (it is his blog in the link)

We were laughing just the other day at all the funny things to do to RLJ's when you caught them up further down the road.

He commuted to work by bike through central London everyday, just set off to go home when a Olympic bus carrying I believe news crew turned left into him at a junction.

An air ambulance was called to the scene but he was pronounced dead.

FML

Thoughts with his family, you will be properly missed Dan 🙁
