A daring world traveler slain by a careless driver

I just heard the bad news about Ian Hibell. If you don’t know about him, and you ride a bike, check out this link. Better yet, check out his book, Into Remote Places. It’s a classic.

I can only hope that when I’m 74 I’ll be able to ride from the UK to Greece, as Ian was doing when the fateful hit-and-run did him in. RIP, Ian.

For the rest of us, drive carefully. Ride free.

  Riding a bike is liberation. It’s getting around on your own power, and more. It's a symbol of anything you do to become more independent. If you want it to, bicycling will constantly challenge your limits, physically and mentally. This blog is about pushing your limits. It’s not a bicycle fanatic’s rant against cars. It’s a rant against yourself, and whatever limits you.
