The 70-year-old resident of Fairfax was part of a cadre of cyclists who created the sport on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais in the 1970s. He is credited with designing and building the first modern mountain bike (he called it the “Breezer”). He has been outspoken as an advocate for bicycle transportation.
