“Condolences to all concerned.
And Wiggo's accident proves that it can happen to anyone.
We really have to put aside our divisions, cars vs bikes, vans vs cars, cars vs trucks.
I drive a car and a van and cycle, and the potential accidents are ten times more while riding.
Very sad accident, and again, my sincerest condolences to Robert's family.”
