I was a tad suspicious of Goatroper. In one post he described seeing an old woman dressed in black, riding a bike downhill, but widows no longer dressed that way even then. Then I asked him where he lived and perhaps suggested meeting up. Knowing that I was in Italy too, he became vague and made up excuses. I sure do remember that death announcement! Bobswire and MerlinAK were members I liked. Merlin (Eric) and I actually met up at the foot of Monte Grappa. Super nice guy. I even wrote a little account of it, https://bicivenetojournal.com/2012/09/10/a-meeting-on-monte-grappa/

Elanoregon (or something like that) was interesting too. I sent a note to the new Velonews as they re-established their online presence to find out if they could restore the original forum, but they couldn't. A loss.

You guys remember the real death and his widow coming on to tell us? He lived on the Olympic Penninsula. Said often the the bike gave him a new life after his heart attack. Wife said the same thing, said he died in the driveway coming home from a ride, doing what he loved. Thanked us. Bobswire was a class act. I disagreed with Old & Fat but sometimes wondered if he really knew something. Watermoccasin, I'd forgotten. Like the beard you shaved off 15 years ago. I'm outto confuse people but I 'm doing it slowly. Shaved the one I had 20 years this week so masks fit better but so far only my housemate has (not) seen it. Ben
