A very sad note that Jim Price was struck and killed a couple of days
ago. He was a frequent poster on several forums and famous for his
incredible knowedge of bicycles and for his very sharp wit. The
story is that Jim (63 yrs old) was in a bike lane and struck by a 17 yr
old driver who was attempting to text message and drive at the same
time. This is very sad loss for the cycling world.

My condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Jim. You will be
missed.

Please see a message from his daughter:

Now THIS sucks.

If you knew Jim in one of his online personas ... then you *knew* Jim.

Controversial, condescending, right far more often than wrong, and
immutable in his style

Sorry, Kids, but I *relish* the "HANG UP!" sign in my back window....

Fare thee well, Jim. You'll be missed .....

A mile today for the fallen.
