I just read this very sad news and can't help but feel just how much less rich a place the world will be without his enthusiasm, immense knowledge and selfless, friendly advice.

His other bicycle projects notwithstanding, no-one did more for the promotion of tinkering the Raleigh Twenty, and he helped me out in person on several occasions when I pulled mine out of the gene-pool in an attempt to try make and something inspired by his own little red rocket.


I will miss him and his magnificent homebrewed website contributions immensely, not least the Harris Cyclery april-fools component advertisements.

Here's hoping his legacy of priceless contributions to bicycling, tinkering, humour and the web prevail on the internet, and in people's memories for many years.
