sydney's a guy who posted something like 14 000 messages over on the bike mechanics forum. He posted about the same amount over on the bicycling.com forums as well. He was one of those miserable bastards who knew everything there is to know about bikes. People had to suffer to get the info, but he'd help anyone out with their problems. He was killed Friday after a kid who was text-messaging on his phone while driving went into the bike lane and hit him.
