Nice short film about Tim Stevens.

At last, somebody who understands how to fit a valuable bike inside a car.

I'm not going to lie. I hadn't heard of Tim. But what a lovely film and such a sad ending. But a least he lived his life doing what he enjoyed and being successful at it as well.
Thanks for posting @Afnug

What a brilliant short film. seemed like such a nice genuine chap and it's a heart wrenching end to the film.
Makes you realise that life is short and you need to enjoy it

Back in the days when Cycling (and then Cycling Weekly) comprised decent amounts of reporting on British domestic racing, Tim featured regularly in the coverage, with a proper reputation as hard-riding strong man - he always gave the impression of being able to crush the bike beneath him with his power. This is going as far back as when the only colour/glossy pages were the front and rear covers....and when it came out on Wednesdays!!

It was always good reading of his exploits, alongside those of Yates, Elliott, Cammish, Pyne, Webster, Longbottom, Boardman et al......the good old days!

Thanks for posting the film.

Same here. Obviously a passionate, talented and committed guy and I was gutted when I read the closing text. A nice little film to positively remember him by though, so yes, thanks for posting @Afnug

Thanks for sharing. Raced against Tim late 70s early 80s and one of the few 'London' riders I used to sit and talk to after races, a nice guy - some happy memories there, a sad loss.

So sad. Thanks @Afnug for sharing.
