Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Ian Hibbel. He rode literally around the world several times. It's a pretty well written memorial article.

Perhaps you should care about a fellow cyclist?
But it's not required of you to care...

I will remember to refrain from posting anything in the touring forum unless its pertains to the LHT, Brooks saddle or Ortliebs. Any discussions of actual touring experience, or notice of the roadside death of inspirational individuals will be left at the door.

As kuan pointed out, it doesn't matter what the thread was titled or how the link was described.
If you're going to mistrust a link because of what is written AROUND it, then don't click on it and move on to another thread.

Even better would have been to post this link (with a better message) in the thread we already have here about Hibel.
R.I.P. Ian Hibell/cross post from general cycling :

Oddly the last stealth camping thread had around 25 "mouths" feeding at the trough.
I wasn't at all aware of who Ian Hibell was. I'd never seen him mentioned on any forum or journal repository until his death.
I enjoyed the Economist article to a degree. I clicked on the link just for the hell of it after I saw where the link led.
The fact is, the man died doing what had become his life passion. I hope I live as long and am able to boast the breadth of experience he did.
