In Memoriam

Last week, our fellow bicycle warrior, Ms. Glenna Evans, a founding member of Victoria’s bicycle performance art group The Velo Vixens, died suddenly in a longboarding crash in British Columbia. Glenna was an art student, longboarder, tattoo artist, Recyclista, activist, friend, and family to many of us. Glenna’s contibutions to the worlds of art, bike advocacy, and longboarding inspired us. Glenna appeared fearless in her bold willingness to engage and learn. Her strength in soul, mind, and body will be remembered as an example of a truly righteous woman. Our deepest sympathies go to Glenna’s friends and family. To Team Canada, the Victoria community, The Velo Vixens, The B.C. Clettes, The Brakes, the circus and fire crew, the Vancouver community, the longoarding crew, The Recyclistas, Cascadia, and the hundreds more who felt and knew Glenna’s magic — we send you love!

I hold it true, whate’er befall;

I feel it when I sorrow most;

‘Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.

– Alfred, Lord Tennyson
