Thank you Steve for your recollections of Nigel. I only just found out Nigel has gone after seeing a Dataline van and looking him up. In 1983 or thereabouts Nigel was a customer at Crescent Filling Station just behind the Royal Crescent in Bath, where I worked as a pump jockey to pay my biking costs. He was a lovely guy and one day asked if I would help him take a piece of artwork over to Bristol on the bike. It was A1 size, and I sat on the back to hold it, gripping with my thighs like a well behaved pillion. It was not too bad till we got onto the dual carriageway towards Saltford, but on the Keynsham bypass it was like trying to manage a square sail, the bike was hopping all over the place. An experience I have never forgotten and often reminisce with biking mates. Nigel rode with aplomb, and the artwork was duly delivered in good order.

I didn't know him well but he was a lovely fellah and I am sad for his loss but happy he lived a full biking life (as have I).
RIP Nigel, may your wings also have wheels.

Sarah

Heh, sounds like something you wouldn't forget in a hurry!

Didn't Dataline have an office behind the crescent filling station around that time?

If life isn't what you wanted, have you asked for anything else?
