Some say it will never be the same again, while others rejoice. Now at 84, rejuvenated by a heart pacemaker, he still uses his exercise bike and walks or cycles daily. He retains a huge store of detailed memories with instant recall, from his nearly 70 years in cycling.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duffield_(sports_commentator)" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Duffield_(sports_commentator)</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16086#post-212638 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:08:30 +0000 chdot 212638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/cycling-commentator-david-duffield-dies-aged-84-212860" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/cycling-commentator-david-duffield-dies-aged-84-212860</a></p> <p>Great guy (met him a few times). Very knowledgable about the bike industry and genuinely interested in getting more people cycling - not just selling them more bikes (unlike some bike business people). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16086#post-212637 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:54:45 +0000 The Boy 212637@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some loved his commentary, some hated it but anyone around my age will remember him calling races back in the bad old days. Sad to see him go. </p> <p>This afternoon's racing in particular stands out:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnKhhfX5tEQ&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnKhhfX5tEQ&amp;feature=youtu.be</a> </p>
