echoed condolences...my appearances on this board have been intermittent and embarrasing, but yours was a familiar (and clever, i thought) name that will be missed.d

cycling is really fun, but it isn't life, and i'm sure you know that. i'd like to echo those who have offered condolences as well as hope that you'll find another passion. this might seem blasphemous, but really, if the bicycle had never been invented, we'd all be okay pursuing other things. i'm sad for you, but your life will no doubt be full of other good things.

best of luck to you.
