Ken Kifer killed
On Saturday, 13.September.2003, while bicycling near his home in Alabama, Ken Kifer was struck and killed by a drunk driver. The drunk driver had been reportedly released from jail for a previous drunken driving offense just four hours earlier.
It was through his Bike Pages I learned of him when I started commuting by cycle.
Ken had bicycled over 100,000 miles in his life and argued extensively on his pages that bicycling is a safe, fun, and healthy activity. He had inspired and encouraged thousands or perhaps millions of people to also bicycle and provided well written and thoughtful advice on many aspects of bicycling.
