<p>I too am shocked and saddened by this loss. I knew nothing of her battle with cancer and only knew he to be a welcoming, warm, knowledgable, and delightful person I was so proud to know in the bike community. Rest in peace, dear Carmelita. May many others follow in the path you lit so beautifully. </p>

I first met Carm at Women and Trans night at WTB. She was one of the first people to teach me basic bike maintenance and how to brave winter. I've never known anyone who smiled so much and had such gentle enthusiasm for getting people to ride. Such a loss for our community. Especially for Humboldt Park.
