Rest in Peace, Steve.

Oh no!

RIP 🙁

Someone whose words I took as gospel throughout the early years of my bicycling adventure.

Omg, I only saw him Christmas Eve, he’d been testing the xc9 for stw, what a great rider, writer and inspirational man.
RIP Steve

Jeez, thats awful news.

Just read his piece in this issue of ST. Can’t quite believe it. 🙁

Ah crap.

Been reading his stuff since I was a kid.
One of my favourite journalists.

Guess I’ll not get to buy him a beer now.

Rest in peace Steve.
You’ll be missed.

My God! That is a shock.

RIP fella.

RIP fella.

A nice down to earth chap.

Not sure what to say.

Shit 🙁

Thoughts are with his friends and family.

That’s terrible news. I’ve been reading and enjoying his stuff for decades, he was a great journalist and helped shape my ideas of what bike riding should be. RIP.

Absolutely gutted to hear this. My thoughts are with his family and friends and I know he’ll be deeply missed by all.

Rest in peace Steve.

Bad show 🙁

Stunned in to silence here.

Rest in peace. Happy trails, Steve.

Terrible news, thoughts to all that knew him or were inspired by him.

How old was he?

RIP I haven’t read his last column yet. There will be added poignancy when I get to it.

Terrible news. Thoughts to his family, friends and colleagues.

Sad loss, loved his work for years, he’s been the backbone of the British offroad cycling press.

RIP 🙁

Sad news indeed. Hope he’s ripping some sweet singletrack with JMC.

RIP.

Proper shocking. Awful news and just hard to believe. He always came across as knowledgeable but more to the point, while I never knew him, many people I know did and they all seemed to think very highly of him.

RIP

RIP Mr Worland 🙁

What a shock, lovely guy, had exchanged emails over the years. Dunno how old he was but far too young 🙁

RIP

Bollocks. There were precious few decent bike journo’s in any case. I always respected him as a reviewer and writer.

that’s sad, seen him in the mags since I first bought MBUK in 1992, RIP

Oh no that’s terrible news. Was looking forward to seeing him in a couple of weeks at bespoked in a couple of weeks.

Oh my goodness.
Very sad to hear. As mentioned, I was reading his article last night.

Thoughts to those close to him.

Very sad to hear this. Enjoyed reading his reviews, he seemed like a top bloke. Condolences to his family and friends.
RIP mate.

Blimey, sad news for a fit fella and one of us from the beginning !

RIP 🙁

RIP 🙁

That’s shocking. RIP, and thoughts to Steve’s family.

Such sad news, ride in peace Steve. Been reading and enjoying his writing since about 89 .thoughts are with his family and friends.

That is really sad. He used to live in Southville and I would see him about quite often.

Lovely bloke. A great loss.

Surprisingly shocked and stunned by this sad news. I say that as it wasn’t expected but also made me realise how much influence he had over my 24 years of mtbing as there are snippets from all that time flooding back to me. a real loss, thoughts out to his nearest and dearest.

really sad news, loved his articles.

Oh, sh*t! This was a writer I really respected. RIP.

Shocked! Terrible news, such a nice bloke – all my thoughts to the family!

One of the voices of cycling over my last 20yrs.

My condolences to those close to him.

That is sad news, his writing was always a joy to read, especially his recent reviews in ST. Thoughts to family and friends.

@CFH – clearing out the garage today and found that exact issue of mbuk, weird.

A great loss.
RIP Mr Worland.
