If you drive, take extra time to look for #bikers & give them plenty of space, accepting this will be the first time they will have ridden for some months.

Read more about our road signs & how you can avoid being involved in a #motorcycle collision.

With the first #BankHoliday this weekend & many #bikers taking to the roads for the first time this year, we’re concerned there could be a spike in collisions.

If you’re a #biker, back off the throttle & be aware that someone might be about to pull out in front of you...

We're proud to be working with @DorsetRoadSafe to prevent road deaths, by placing collision hot spot signs at key locations where #motorcyclists have been injured in #Dorset.

Our road signs ‘Think Bike’ & ‘Have You Been Seen’, have been designed by over 2,400 #bikers!👏…

This week my amazing team of volunteers at @DocBike_Devon picked up our amazing bike donated to us by @revcomps with the livery by #swppf and help from @OceanBMWbikes #savingbikerslives (most terrifying ride home for me!)

We’re so sad to hear the news about Dave Myers from @HairyBikers passing away.

Our thoughts, love & heartfelt condolences go out to Si & all of Dave's family at this tragic time.

Rest in peace Dave, we'll be forever grateful for your support in aid of the charity! 🖤🕊🏍

[Hairy Bikers @HairyBikers]

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.

Love Si x
