Thank you for this beautiful tribute and explanation of Tim's contributions to the bicycling community. I worked with Tim in his later years of advocacy, while on the SASY neighborhood's transportation committee together. Tim did not waver from practicing the perspectives he was preaching, which

I will always remember Tim's characterization of the people on the ped bike committee as "cops and helmets types". Those people are still out there and many hold positions of power that mean their views are degrading the bicycling environment. =Matthew > On Jun 27, 2017, at 9:33 PM, Robbie

I went to the hospital Saturday to see Tim and say goodbye. He wasn't able to talk so I had to carry on the conversation for both of us. Luckily talking is a special talent of mine. We observed the massive new parking deck just outside his window, which was obscuring the view of the capital and

Tim served on the TPC for many years. He was not reappointed by a former Mayor. He was a great advocate for Metro too. He did speak his mind and was also quite strategic. And funny and very smart. He will be missed. Sent from my iPhone On Jun 27, 2017, at 10:56 PM, Scott Morris Rose via Bikies

Bummer. He was already one of the grey heads of bicycle advocacy when I arrived in Madison in '87. He, along with Mark Shahan and Lisa Goodman, was a founding member of the BTA and of whatever organization preceded it, the name of which I forget. Madison used to have a Bike/Ped Commission, of
