I'm lost for words, totally dumbfounded.

A great friend was killed on his bike today.

NEWS

F*ck. Man I'm lost for words on this one.

He was on a charity run for DSI (Downs Syndrome Ireland), he also lead the Christmas charity run to the womens shelter in Rathmines.

Sorry this is all a little disjointed but my head is all over the place.

RIP Aidan, God bless you, your wife and three beautiful children.

Yea, most long users of this forum will recall me putting more than just a few of these notices up over the years.

This was one of the best guys you'll ever meet. A huge inspiration to many and took his work with DSI to a vocation.. Also a journalist with Road Racing Ireland and Bike Buyers Guide.

Aidan Lynam RIP

Cant believe this either, met him a good few times at the road races. Wasnt lucky enough to call him a friend but you get to know people that are in the same circles as you. Very nice chap and a vastly experienced rider and gave alot of time to charities.


Condolences to his family and all that knew him well.

R.I.P

Yup anyone involved even in the smallest way in racing will have met Aidan.

I've hardly stopped crying today, the phone calls and texts haven't stopped.

Always sad to lose some one who works Tirelessly for others, Don't move in Biking circles at all, but my thoughts extend to all Family, Friends and all he worked with.

A very sad day for biking in Ireland, was honored to be able to say I knew Aido, he really was one of the very few we'd all like to be like, a great guy who's devotion to DSI was incredible, my thoughts go out to his family especially his little girl.

If she's at fault and pulled out in front of the bike I hope she's hit with a driving ban of at least several years.

Car drivers show f*ck all respect to bikes on the road.

While I agree with where you are coming from until the facts are known let's keep it respectful, his family and friends will be reading this I'm sure.

TallGlass

Condolences to you and your friends family and friends. I don't know either or ride a motor bike, car user.

Actually the second person I have heard of this year to know a bike user killed while riding, the other guy I knew his friend was killed around Constitution Hill.

Stop being so condescending. I haven't shown any disrespect to his family. It's directed at the car driver.

Ah come off it. Let's show respect for the guy that died in such tragic circumstances without these implications around the circumstances of the accident.

This is truly terrible news. I remember him from my time on a biker forum and later on the radio getting publicity for the run. RIP
Lets not point fingers before the full facts are known

Deep comiserations to the family and friends of the deceased. Sounds like he was a great guy.

but in answer to the quoted text....

Ridiculous generalisation.

I drive every day of the week and see motor cyclists do some crazy driving regularly. More often than not weaving in and out and passing where it is very very dangerous. I am sure that was not the case with the deceased today as it was a charity event but the generalisation by this poster is garbage.

You are still at it.

Mods, a ban is called for here.
