This man deserves a public memorial somewhere. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15684#post-202837 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:50:07 +0000 cc 202837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Lovely story. On the subject of life in East Germany I'd also recommend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasiland">Stasiland</a> by Anna Funder. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15684#post-202815 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:35:51 +0000 panyagua 202815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>RIP. I first heard of him from reading Herbie Sykes' 'The Race Against the Stasi', which I'd highly recommend.</p> <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/review/144905-race-against-stasi-herbie-sykes">http://road.cc/content/review/144905-race-against-stasi-herbie-sykes</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15684#post-202812 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:03:19 +0000 Min 202812@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What a great story.

The deceased had cycled on his own to North Berwick when he was 9, and to see the opening of the Kincardine bridge when he was 11. He helped restart the Dunedin cycle club. And met his wife-to-be on a cycling holiday in Ireland. It seemed only right to get to his funeral by bike." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15684#post-202809 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:53:14 +0000 chdot 202809@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://beta.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-ian-steel-cyclist-1-3928626" rel="nofollow">http://beta.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-ian-steel-cyclist-1-3928626</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/oct/26/ian-steel" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/oct/26/ian-steel</a> </p>
