Heard some rather sad news today from a Path Less Pedaled retweet and the Riding a Folding Bike Around Manila blog regarding a bike touring couple that were killed in an accident today in Thailand
(Here is a news link to this story).
Peter Root and Mary Thompson wrote the twoonfourwheels blog which I had unfortunately not heard of until today. Their passion for exploration and human interaction was evident in their writing and films (Here is a link to their videos on Vimeo).
This is an unfortunate reminder that life has a finite shelf life. I admire Root & Thompson for living it on their own terms and living more than many people who are many years older. And while I have been fortunate to explore much of the world, I have never done so by bike. I hope to remedy that in the not too distant future.
Please be safe out there and let your loved ones know that you love them. Be kind to one another. Peace.
