Advocacy & Safety - Donations to Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition in memory of Jim Dein

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Great idea, LBM. Thanks for posting the information. I am sending $100 to MADD, as well, but that's a personal choice.

Thanks John, but it wasn't my idea! I was considering your suggestion about MADD (makes perfect sense to me) when I read this:

Hi All:

Just wanted to thank you guys for your support and say that you can count on me to be a part of- and advocate for SVBC in any way possible.

The Funeral for Jim Dein will be at the Methodist Church, 625 Hamilton Ave, in downtown Palo Alto (corner of Webster and Hamilton) and will actually be on Sunday, February 29th, at 12:30pm. Cycling attire is encouraged.

The Memorial Ride Details are still in work, but for now, we are actually planning on starting from Bicycle Outfitter in Los Altos on Sunday, March 14th at 11am, and riding via Foothill, McLellan, Stelling(?), Rainbow, Saratoga-Sunnyvale, and Highway 9 to Downtown Los Gatos. I'll keep you posted.

We have asked that friends and relatives of Jim Dein's send donations to the SVBC. The family wanted to donate to a cycling advocacy/safety group, and I figured SVBC to be the ideal recipient.


Thanks again for your concern and support!

Mike Aberg
