Quarter of a million pounds' worth of bikes nicked

Yeovil-based retailer Tri UK has had around £250,000-worth of bicycles and products stolen after the London Bike Show - and are offering a reward of £100,000 for information leading to their recovery.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
