2010 May 8, Andrew

{"Jan" may be a later addition.}

Someone on the London Fixed Gear and Single Speed Forum spotted this bike immediately it went up and a discussion followed about it. On 13 May flowers with a personal handwritten note were added to the bike. No one knew of any fatal cycling accident in the area and they came to the conclusion that Andrew might have died elsewhere or much earlier.

W. Maxfield

W. Maxfield

Hon. Sec. to George How Memorial Committee.  The damaged memorial seems to have another word after "Maxwell" so it's possible that "Maxwell" is a given name and his surname is something like "Mead".
