I just saw on Bicycle Retailer that Tim Blumenthal, former ED of IMBA and founding CEO of Bikes Belong / People For Bikes, just passed away on March 30th. A man of many accomplishments.

I encountered Tim while working on national-level issues in the 1990s and 2000s. We didn't always agree, but he was always polite, well-spoken, and willing to hear out other viewpoints. And there was mutual respect that regardless of the details there was a sincere shared interest in improving cycling.

He will be missed.
