In the late 1970s, he built what is considered the first off-road bicycle with a frame that was aluminum rather than steel, one of his many inventions.

His death, at a care facility, was from complications of a 2015 biking accident in which he sustained severe head trauma, said his wife, Jacqueline Phelan, a writer and former national off-road biking champion who is his only immediate survivor.
I didn't know that was why he died. Imagine your whole life dedicated to the very thing that causes you to die. Terrible.
