A disabled delivery rider has been left ‘devastated’ after his specially adapted motorbike was stolen and trashed in Bristol overnight.
Now friends and colleagues of paraplegic David Cappalletti have started a fundraising page to pay for a new bike, which is believed to be unique in this country, as well as supporting him until he is back on the road and working again.
David uses a motorised wheelchair to get about and his one-off three-wheeler scooter has been specially adapted to take that wheelchair, as well as the other modifications needed to be a delivery rider. But the bike was stolen from his home near Eastville Park last night, and found this morning, smashed up on the Bristol-Bath Railway Path near the tunnel at Staple Hill.
