“Mr Stevenson was a member of a local motorcycle enthusiast club and was out on the club’s traditional Easter ride with other motorcyclists at the time of the collision with a Renault Clio car . Two females from the Renault Clio were conveyed to hospital for examination, but were unhurt. Our thoughts are with Mr Stevenson’s family at this sad time, who are being supported by specially trained officers.”

The 64-year-old male also involved in the incident was taken to Morriston Hospital and his condition is not life threatening.
Stephen’s family has paid tribute to him at this tragic time:
“Stephen was a lovely, honest, caring son, brother and uncle who will be sorely missed. He moved from Liverpool to Aberystwyth as a mature student to study politics and philosophy and never went back home again because he loved Aberystwyth so much. He applied to be a HGV driver with Aberystwyth Council and remained in the town. Stephen was a keen motorcyclist who loved the countryside and he loved Wales.”
