I saw this yesterday on ******.com/r/bicycletouring, and loved it. Right attitude, neat bike, maybe a little too much begging but the guy has style.

That is sad. But he led a life that most of us would envy: He had fun, was a good person, and his efforts to reach out and show people that they could do likewise was in my opinion very much worthwhile.

It may have been you who put this up last year or sometime. I recall watching it, but unless I had forgotten, I just saw now that he was killed 5 years ago in a hit and run accident in Greece. Never fun reading of any cyclist being killed, but like that French fellow in the neat doc made by his niece, very sad to read of such dedicated cyclists meeting ends like this.

Yes he had an accident in Greece and was killed. I remember seeing the clip when it was first broadcast and though of it as a great example of "how to tour" when I watched the TEDx clip, which while fun, doesn't offer much practical advice rather than " you don't need special stuff so get out there and do it"
