Well, very sorry to hear this. A very clever person, giving us the best of reasons to buy a product: it works great! We have three sets of Hed wheels.

Condolences to his family and business family....

Whoa! What happened? This is such sad and tragic news. And on the eve of Thansgiving too. I clicked on the link above and saw the pictures of his kids and family. Life just seems so unfair sometimes.

Condolences to the family. RIP Steve HED.
