On Sunday, May 31, 2009 the cruiser community of Vancouver lost a great friend and enthusiast; he will be sadly missed by all that knew him.
Darcy was a founding member of The 362's and a regular rider of the Thursday night rides in Surrey; a memorial ride was therefore declared for the Thursday, June 4, 2009 after his passing.
It was to be a small gathering of friends that had ridden with Darcy throughout his downhill and cruiser riding years; it was an impromptu but natural decision that was made just days prior to the ride and as such only a handful of people were expected to come out and ride the trails of Green Timbers that Darcy loved so much.
As Thursday approached and we finally made our way to the Bike Zone I was in shock to see almost sixty riders ready to ride and celebrate Darcy's life. A night that would have made Darcy proud....not over how many Kokanee's were drank but of all the people that took time out of their schedule to honor a great friend.
Rest in Peace Darcy and may you always have a tail wind at your back.....

3rd annual Darcy Cruise

The 3rd annual Darcy Lane Memorial Cruise went down last Saturday night. A huge group of the lower mainland's finest riff-raff showed up for a great evening of story telling, Kokanee swilling and Cruising around Surrey. It was amazing to see the impact one individual had on so many lives. We love you, ya Bastard!

Our community unfortunately has had to send one of our good ole soul's to the cruiser ride in the sky

Darcy was the head tech and manager at Cap's in Langley. He previously had worked at the Bike Zone in Surrey for many years, where many of us had the fortunate opportunity to get to know him, his bikes, and his two beloved dogs Cali and Rocco.
Darcy like many of us, had a love for "bikeling" as we called it. He loved his years of downhilling at Whistler Bike Park, the Water Shed in Delta, and the North Shore. He shared this passion with many, which had to come to an end due to the stress it placed on his already replaced false hip; so he replaced the downhill rides with cruiser rides which began many years before on Thursday nights from the Bike Zone.
For those that had the opportunity to get to know Darcy, you learned quite quickly that there was a big heart in this tattooed full on fellow. His happiest moments were when he was surrounded by his friends and their bikes. We all wish to pass on our warmest wishes and love to his Mom "Momma Lane", his Step Dad Gord, and his younger brother Jamie.
We will keep you all posted as to details of services. Should any of you require further info, please contact George, Chopper Ron, or myself.
There will be a memorial ride this Thursday, June 4/09 7:30PM from the Bike Zone parking lot to the usual Thursday "rest areas" that Darcy loved to frequent with the Riff Raff. Look forward to seeing all!

Two videos from the Cruise, see you all next year!
