Jake Brockman, who lived in Bristol, died when his cycle collided with a converted ambulance near Kirk Michael on the Isle Of Man on Tuesday, the BBC reports.
Brockman was a touring member of the group for several years and joined the band fully for the recording of the Ian McCulloch-less Reverberation LP in 1990.
His wife Sally Mundy said: "Jake was always a classic bike enthusiast, he loved sailing though he was invariably seasick. Music was central to Jake's life."
A statement on the band's official website read: "Jake Drake Brockman. Our thoughts are with his wife, family & friends. Love Ian, Will, Les, Peasy, Pete, Peter & all his fans."
Investigations into the crash are ongoing.
The band's drummer Pete De Freitas died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 27 in 1989.
