Steve's ride was getting some but not a huge amount of media attention, obviously deserved a lot more. This story with the moped, a man's dreams shattered, life savings down the drain etc etc, could play really well. I bet an internet fundraising type gig with full story and associated social media hype could get him enough funds together to try again next year when he is fully healed. He would have the added advantage of the experience he has got in the first 4 months of this year, PLUS he will know what Kurt managed and be able to use it as a target for his schedule.
But I wouldn't think any less of him if he decided to sack off the record completely.
Just a thought.
