Dennis Dumm

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune

"After spending months painstakingly rebuilding his bicycle, Dennis Dumm rode it every day from his home in south Minneapolis to work on the other side of downtown.

On Wednesday morning, just as Dumm took off from the bike lane at the intersection of Park Avenue and E. 14th Street, a semitrailer driver began to make a wide left turn, crossing in front of Dumm and hitting and killing the 31-year-old cyclist.The driver of the truck will not be cited in connection with the accident, said Minneapolis police spokesman Sgt. Bill Palmer. He said the truck was loaded with concrete and asphalt chunks from a nearby construction site as it headed north on Park, a one-way street.Dumm’s girlfriend, Christi Desautels, said Dumm always followed traffic rules and wore a helmet, but she knows that even experienced riders need to be reminded that accidents can happen in a matter of seconds.
[…]Desautels said Dumm had recently taken his love of biking to a new level when he rebuilt bike that had been stolen and damaged last year. Last week, he had participated in events for National Bike to Work day. “It was more than a hobby,” she said. “The ultimate goal was to be able to get rid of his car.”

Dumm, who was also a photographer, had a show of his work scheduled to open in a couple of weeks at the northeast Minneapolis restaurant Sen Yai Sen Lek. Desautels said his friends plan to follow through with the show."
