Just got this in my TBN e-mail:

EUGENE YAO - FRIEND OF CYCLING
It is with sadness that we note the passing of a great friend to cycling
and TBN, Eugene Yao, the founder of Urbane Cyclist, who graciously
hosted and led the informative Pre-Season Bike Prep Education Nights for
the past seven years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
"Eugene Yao Urbane Cyclist Bicycle Design Award" created in honour of
Eugene, to support excellence and vision in bicycle design. Cheques
payable to the Ontario College of Art and Design with a notation about
the award. Eugene's family invites friends to a celebration of his life
on Saturday, Feb. 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Cecil Community
Centre, 58 Cecil Street, Toronto.
