In Memory of Lee Meyers 01/25/08 - Lee Myers peacefully passed away today. He was a passionate and exceptional individual. He was a true competitor. Lee won two tandem time trial state championships and competed at the national level in the same discipline. Lee was very involved with Velo Allego and was a prominent supporter of the women's elite racing team. His love of bicycles did not end with competition and support; he spent a number of his retirement hours at Main Street Cyclery selling and wrenching. Lee was a generous individual that enjoyed helping people get involved with riding, whether it is for transportation, recreation or for the thrill of competition. We will miss his vibrant personality. Memorial donations can be sent in Lee's name to the American Cancer Society.

RED MEANS STOP! Obeying traffic signals is the law. Breaking the law invites a run-in with law enforcement, or worse, a collision. Bicyclist do not defeat cars. There is no honor in the yellow/red light breakaway. Consider your safety and the safety of those around you. Obey the law or ride elsewhere.
