"Reportedly, his pastimes were painting and gardening, and he was often seen by neighbors on his bicycle. It sounds like a pretty nice life, actually, and it's pleasant to think of Barrett ending his days as a vaguely Victorian figure — an odd old Englishman who'd made quite a splash in his youth, tottering through town on two wheels." -- Slate, on Syd Barrett (1946-2006)
