Mike, you were a truly inspirational man and will be sorely missed. You showed us all how life should be lived, with energy, humour, and kindness every day, and you will never be forgotten. Every Wednesday, every Sunday and every ride, we will remember you and you will be there with us.
I’m so grateful to have met you and to be a part of the wonderful club that meant so much to you.
Rest in peace, El Pres.
Hope the riding is good on the other side, Alex Q

I didn’t know you well Mike, but the chat I had with you in the Albion about your working life was inspirational. I could tell you lived life to the fullest, with a sense of adventure and humour. Cycling well into your 80s as well. I think you are a hero to many.
Rest in peace.

Mike you were a truly inspirational man who welcomed everyone, including myself, with open arms. You were a man of wisdom, didn’t judge anyone and was always willing to listen.
Unfortunately I haven’t been around much lately (sometimes life just catches up on you) and thus I didn’t see you much after July, yet I heard a lot about you from multiple different people and no doubt all was positive.
You will be missed and always remembered as a man with a smile on your face ready for what you encountered.
I’m glad to have met you and spent time with you on a variety of rides, Wednesday, Sundays and our Ghent trip in April
May you rest in peace and keep on shining that positive light on the other side ❤️😘

I have got to know Mike through many social club rides this year. From his warm greetings at KB before every cycle to the tips and encouragement he has given me, he’s someone I will never forget. A wonderful man and true inspiration whose legacy will continue. RIP Mike.

Mike was truly one of the most genuine and nicest guys I’ve met. He was an absolute inspiration, a wonderful person and welcoming to all.
Having ridden with Mike on Sundays on and off for nearly 4 years – he was always so encouraging and supportive. Our Sunday rides will never be quite the same.
He will be sadly missed. But I am so glad I had the pleasure to get to know him.
