He was very knowledgeable about bikes and helpful to me. I always enjoyed reading his posts. I wish I had lived close to where he rode. I am sure he was a great cycling friend to all who knew him.

Since he was going to ride the Trinity Trail with the new trike, that might be an acceptable choice. A ride from Benbrook up to the Stockyards perhaps?

Yes, he rode the Trinity Trails often, since he lived in the Hulen area and his primary transportation was his bent. I have a trike I could lend to one of his sons if they needed/wanted something to ride.

Though it would be a bit further for me, it might be a good idea to start at Gateway Park off of Beach St. A bit closer than Benbrook for any of the folks who might want to join from the Dallas direction. The Stockyards would still be a great destination.

That sounds like a great Idea he also liked River Legacy Park.

I think for all concerned, it would work best to have the ride some time after the services at National Cemetery. That way the family will have had at least that, taken care of, and maybe their lives will be settling down a touch. I would like to attend, provided the chosed date & time work out. (Don't forget HotRocks ride and REd River Rally on the 11th, and HHH is the 25th.)

I would just like to suggest something -- I know Joe would appreciate my bring this up.

Joe was off the charts excited about his new Terra Trike Cruiser that he was to receive from AFRA August 8. We at ARFA were as excited as Joe. His outpouring of thanks and his testimony how receiving this trike was going to make everything better in his life just made us realize the impact AFRA can have on the lives of those who need help getting a recumbent trike to change their lives for the better. We are so very, very heart broken to lose Joe.

ARFA depends entirely on donations to acquire recumbent bikes and trikes so they can get them to those who nee them. I am sure Joe would appreciate any memorials in his honor that are made to ARFA. Please visit our website at www.arfaoftexas.org.

Happy trails Joe while riding your Terra Trike up in Heaven. It was an honor to know you.

I emailed ARFA and offered them some of my TEXAS print posters that I have come out with in limited edition to sell or raffle off to make money to buy trikes for needy people. They said they would love to have them. I am making arrangements with ARFA to pick them up the weekend of aug 5th. Is anybody here connected with the newspaper as this would make a good story in memory of someone who liked bents?

Ok here is a posting from FB from Josh Martin Joe's son
Information Time and Day of funeral proceedings for my Father Joe Martin are as follows: Service Will be on Friday August 10, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. sharp. These services will be held at Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery 2000 Mountain Creek Parkway Dallas, TX 75211 (214) 467-3374. Anyone is welcome to attend if they desire to, but nobody needs to feel obligated. My Brother and I would love to see as
many friends and family as possible but are aware that getting out during a weekday can be difficult and we understand everybody’s circumstance is different. The ceremony should be fairly short but we will be having BBQ for lunch at our mothers House in Fort Worth Texas after the event and spending time with friends and family celebrating our Dads life and sharing stories. This will be a “Wet” party so beer will be supplied and fun shall be had, it’s what Joe would have wanted. If you can’t make it to the service anyone is still more than welcome to swing by the house to pay their respects and have a beer if they like. If anybody has any questions at all please feel free to contact Joshua Martin (817) 908-8274 or Justin (817) 204-4406
