Hairy Biker Dave Myers recalls 'tears' on emotional first bike ride with Si King after cancer diagnosis

Hairy Biker Dave Myers has shared the emotional moment he got back on his bike alongside Si King for the first time following his cancer diagnosis.

Fans of the TV duo rallied around Dave after he announced in May last year that he had been undergoing chemotherapy, and the star has since often spoken candidly about his ongoing cancer battle. Viewers were delighted when it was announced that the Hairy Bikers will be back on the road for a new series, following Dave's extended break from filming to receive treatment.

The 65-year-old was also able to get back on his bike for the first time, which proved to be a moving day for both him and Si. Dave told the Yorkshire Post: "I've had to learn to walk again and ride my bike again. And to get on my bike again with Kingy in the sunshine brought tears to both our eyes."
