With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Aaron Julius Speyer. He was a local Austin cyclist and pedicabber in the downtown. He would ride in the City’s Critical Mass bike rides with his group the "Friendly Fellas."

In lieu of flowers the family is accepting donations for a memorial bike rack to be installed in the Austin area in Aaron’s name.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow what a ride!'" -Hunter S. Thompson
