A motorist has appeared in court accused of killing a couple who were knocked off their tandem bike in an alleged hit-and-run.
Nicholas Lovell, 38, was remanded in custody at North Avon Magistrates' Court in Yate, south Gloucestershire, charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
Lovell, of West Street, in nearby Oldland Common, is also charged with driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and failing to stop after a road accident.
Husband and wife Ross and Clare Simons died in a crash while cycling on Sunday evening in Hanham, near Bristol.
Lovell was arrested after handing himself into police hours after the collision.
He is due to appear over video link at Bristol Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on February 21.
Wearing a navy blue T-shirt and glasses, he was accompanied by two dock officers during the five-minute hearing.
He did not react as the clerk read out the charges against him, and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth.
Kathryn Jones, prosecuting, told the court: "The incident on the 27th resulted unfortunately in the fatalities of the two individuals that have been named.
"There is no bail application. The Crown seeks remand in custody."
The couple died less than 24 hours after celebrating the news that they could undergo fertility treatment to start a family.
Mr Simons, 34, and his 30-year-old wife - described by friends as "two peas in a pod" - died when their bicycle was in collision with a Citroen Picasso car.
Their families described them as "very special" and said they had "no words" to describe their loss.
Dozens of floral tributes have been left at the scene.
A 35-year-old woman arrested in connection with the collision remains on police bail.
