The short film they had made of riding through the Stans is inspirational.

Lovely piece of film. Sad news but they died doing what they loved. Hopefully that may inspire a few go for their dreams now rather than delay for whatever reason.

RIP.

How very, very sad. Condolences to their loved ones.

To lose one is very sad but to lose them both is tragic. My heart goes out to their families and loved ones.

RIP

They really were good film makers.

Compelling viewing if you are into cycle touring.

RIP. Condolescences to families, fellow cycle tourers who travelled with them and friends.

amazing he managed to get both of them. I always stay about 10yds from other cyclist (say I'm cycling with friends)
People do forget, you think the roads are bad in this country, especially when you get to places like india and far east, they are very very dangerous. - our death rates are nothing compared to countries like those. - but its locals being squished so you don't hear about it.

it doesn't matter if the guy who did gets punished and by how much. - won't bring em back

it's tragic. -
