We've lost one of our best.
I remember having seen Glydon around while I was an undergrad at Berkeley. Unfortunately I didn't know who he was until a few years after I had left, and the motorcycling bug had finally bit me. I remember scouring the internet for articles on my new found obsession, finding the CityBike site (same night I found MO), and quite serendipitously gaining a bit of enlightenment.
Johnny B has best expressed what I felt in reading Glydon's articles. I only wish that someone from my generation can keep his spirit, wit, and analytical poignancy alive.
I feel a profound sense of loss. Joe Glydon will be missed.
