Dr Bill Revell, RIP

I’m sat here in a deal of shock after hearing that familiar face, colleague and senior lecturer in biomedical sciences Dr Bill Revell has died in an RTA.

Bill was only about 5’ 2" but had one of the early Hayabusas, which he absolutely loved. It was kind of incongruous to watch him come out of the Uni and hop on that beast. Apparently he rounded a bend and collided with an overturned pickup truck and his number was up.

It’s the one thing I hate about biking, losing faces to death and serious injury. I have a real issue with it and it perhaps stops me from getting closer to you peeps on LB.

RIP Bill.

Weirdly enough, I’m familiar with that road, having ridden it unintentionally last year and revisited it since (because it’s quite nice round the Digswell viaduct area). It’s a 20 zone with bumps and chicanes. Feck knows what’s happened there.
