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.

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.

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

Lovely bloke. A great loss.

Bloooooody Henry.

Shocked and saddened to read this.

A decent journalist whose experience was legion. I didn't know him personally, but I understand he was a nice fella. I'd see him now and then riding round AC.

Thoughts with family and friends.
