He was a good guy. I was the Cycra Product Manager for a couple of the large distributors and he was my contact. Always a smile on his face. The news reports are inaccurate in saying he was not wearing a helmet. I spoke to his family last night at the visitation and they said the police have changed their assessment of the accident and now say he was wearing a helmet, but it became dislodged in the accident. Read into that what you will, but I assume it was very bad. I know some people that have ridden with him and say he was a very good rider. Deer are so unpredictable, be careful out there.
