Don Christie RIP

[Freqman1]

A sad day to report the passing of a fellow CABEr and good friend. Don went to that big ride this past Sunday. A great guy and member of the classic bike community he will be missed greatly. Don was a laid back, easy going guy always willing to lend a hand. He had been battling some health issues but we discussed doing another ride in Charlotte next month. Thoughts and prayers with Carol and the family.

Very sad news indeed ... Don rode with his CYCLONE COASTER family here for many years before moving across the states where he started the Hurricane Coasters ... Don had asked me about initially starting a group ride in his new area as CYCLONE COASTER since he really missed & enjoyed the times on our rides ... I encouraged him to start something to reflect his area ... which he did & the Hurricane Coasters group was born

... Always a stand up guy who will be dearly missed ... but always overseeing all of us from above

In honor of Don ... the August CYCLONE COASTER ride will be a tribute ride to him ... If you are in SoCal or your hometown USA ... please have a moment of silence for Don & take a ride on your favorite bicycle ...

Ridden not Hidden & much love to you Don & your family & friends from Frank & the CYCLONE COASTER family

Very sad to hear this news.
I always enjoyed his company, when he was living out here.
He had a great lust for life, and an infectious enthusiasm for classic and antique bicycles.
We love you, Schwinn Doggy!

This was very sad news to say the least. Don was a great guy and will be missed. He was very passionate about antique bicycles and enjoyed the camaraderie of the bicycle brotherhood.
He created some Aerocycle shirts based on my bike. Prayers for his family in this time of loss.
