Ken Kifer
Ian Hibbell
The guy from Highlands Ranch right near where I live - about 65yo - who was widely respected for his bicycling knowledge and posts in BFN.

All killed on their bicycles

Who else?

Sound like a life well lived.
I'm sure he and Sheldon will have lots to talk about.

If I understand correctly, Ken Kifer made a transition while riding.

Just a short time ago I ran upon a website with his stamp on it...very worthy.
I mention as a sign of respect.

Evidently this avoidable tragedy was caused by another of lifes ar..holes racing his mate on a public road.

Would you rather live a life of where you ride in countries all over the world and eventually die in a biking accident at 74, or quit riding at say 55 and then live until you die a natural death at 85?

I bet if you had given Hibbell the choice, that he would have picked the same path that he took.
