Barry Mason

[User10571]

It was whilst reading his FAQs of the Dun Run, Barry's turn of phrase caused me, in 2006, to think 'I must do this ride'.
And so, I bought a bike....

RIP Barry.

Edit: I'd inadvertently posted something that was not mine to post. Sorry if I've caused any further upset at a distressing time. Here's a link to the original article:

http://goodbyejacque...hwark-cyclists/, which is a lovely profile of Barry. The bit I can't change remains a sad reality.

Tim, it wasn't you that plagiarised anything. Please don't blame yourself.

I never met Barry Mason, but I admired his campaigning work from afar.
Does anyone else here remember him on the old urbancycling-uk message boards?
I have this memory of long, stream-of-consciousness posts that were almost like poetry.
They transmitted a real sense of joy about cycling, and were quite inspirational.

Yes. I remember those.
