As we gathered around Major for the monthly Critical Mass ride through downtown Phillip Baron took a moment to describe the accident on Pleasant Green and to say something brief about bicycling safety and Clive Sweeney's death. We then took time to observe a moment of silence for Clive, his family, and his friends.
With that rather somber beginning, the ride was a little lower-key than usual, though the rather ridiculous temperature might have put a damper on some of our enthusiasm as well. Chris, Dave, and I cruised around Durham with the diverse crew for a leisurely hour or so before adjourning to Bull McCabe's for some post-ride carbing. It was great to see all the people that came by after the ride -- there were probably 15 or so CMers there -- to enjoy a hot, humid night on the patio.
Brian also joined us, though he spent less time talking and more time grooming his euro-mullet. Some kids are just too cool for school.
I would have some pictures, but either Ali, JD, Brian, Erin, or the shop has my camera.
Until next month, keep rubbin' Major's nose!

Some of Clive's friends put this site up to honor him. It has images, stories and a video.
Please post any neat stories you shared with Clive here.

Thanks for the link. I only knew Clive in passing, so the stories on the site were really great for me to read.
I added a link to your site from the post and will be sure to do so in any future postings. Our thoughts are with you. --jm
