Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week

Extremely sad and numbing.
Comforting that he died instantly without a scratch on him.

That's not his old Curvy is it? Is it another orger's or something?

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week

I didn't see the article in the paper, shows how much I pay attention to their writing.

Ralph, your right about the caption, but again, this is the "Echo"...

I am glad David was shown in a positive light even if what he was doing (riding his bike) wasn't.

I mean, FFS he could have been doing drugs or something (would have been cheaper with all the miles he did!) But, he wasn't, he was riding his bike and he enjoyed doing it and brought joy to others doing it. Just because that's how he died doesn't make it bad.

Articles like this p1ss me off, David was a great guy, but, the article tries to make out that his riding his bike is evil... tw4ts...

I feel for Joyce, because, I know this is how my mum feels when ever I ride my bike, and it doesn't help I got knocked off by a lorry in August... But, everytime I leave the house I let my mum know how much I love her and that she has to understand I love riding and won't give it up...

Sorry for going on for ages...

I don't think it portray's him or bikers in a badlight (personally). That's not how I read it, really feel for Hovis's mum though.

I suppose it is how you read it, but, the main headline is hardly positive for biking is it!?

No, it's really bothering me to be honest. It's meant to be emotive not to paint bikers in a bad light as far as I can see, not something that most want to read though.

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week

Re: Hovis made the local press earlier this week

Apologies, it was meant in a humerous context.
