Default Cyclespot.com - condolences

I had bought a seat from cyclespot.com last year. They had great prices and excellent customer service - some of the most friendly people that I've worked with.

I went on their site today to price-check some accessories and read the sad news. If anyone knows how to reach the family, please offer the condolences of their happy customers.

From their site:

***
Hello CycleChat and CycleSpot Friends and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that we write this note to you all. As most of you know, CycleSpot has been closed since the end of September due to a family emergency. We have faced some very hard decisions during this time and many events that we would not wish upon anyone.

On September 19, 2008, Jim committed suicide. We will never fully understand why he made this decision. In the wake of this tragedy, we have had many difficult decisions to make. One of those was how to proceed with CycleSpot. We closed CycleSpot temporarily while we sorted through Jim’s affairs.

Unfortunately, we have concluded that we must close CycleSpot permanently. Without Jim’s expertise, CycleSpot cannot deliver the service and support its customers deserve.

As we have learned through these recent events, there are many blessings in tragedy if only we are willing and able to see them. So we would like to give to you, the CC community, the opportunity to continue this online family and the camaraderie that you, its members, have built. Markster and Hit Man will be given full and complete reins of CycleChat as soon as we are legally able to turn it over to them.

We wish each and every one of you, our friends, the best.

Sincerely,
Biker Babe, aka Dawn

****
