Local appeals are quicker, more effective and likely to be more successful.

Any rider listed for that ride could have emigratred to Australia, got married, had kids, divorced, and moved back to another part of the UK in the intervening period

...or the individual could have bought the shirt or helmet in a cycle jumble

Apart from that the man who has been widely named on the internet forums in relation to the helmet sticker lives about one mile from the start of the dronfield bypass.
If it is that gentleman, Derbyshire police have made themselves look very stupid ideed.

If it is that gentleman, Derbyshire police have made themselves look very stupid ideed.

Especially as the mans picture looks very much like the e.fit.

Very sad though. I only live a couple of miles from where this happened. Its certainly not a stretch of road I would consider riding down.

So people on the internet worked it out quicker than the police

It is a resource issue.

Also, there's knowing who might be worth asking, and having asked them to make sure. Eggs in multiple baskets and all that...

It is a resource issue.

They only need Google and a bit of common sense.

Thankfully, he was identified, may he RIP.
