The North Carolina Symphony is mourning Erik Dyke who played double bass in the orchestra for almost 50 years.
He was well known around Raleigh for cycling through town with a 20-pound double bass strapped to his back.
One day this month he fell off his bike and died, probably the result of a stroke.
Erik was 69.
