"One of Calum Best's most cherished memories of his father is a special day from their time in America, ending with them riding a tandem bike on Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles."
""I just remember there was such a relaxed feeling from him because he was able to just live a bit more free than he would in the UK," Calum says."
""This is so silly, but I love it to death. He rented a bicycle built for two, and we rode the boardwalk in Hermosa Beach. And I just hold that memory dear.""
Twenty years after George Best's death, memories of him persist through intimate, joyful moments. A standout memory involves a tandem bicycle ride on the Hermosa Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles, where he appeared unusually relaxed. George Best is portrayed as a tortured football genius who, while troubled, could experience rare ease away from the UK. The American setting allowed more freedom and calm, and the tandem-ride moment remains treasured as a simple symbol of lighter, more peaceful times shared between father and son.
