"The Bike Guy"
On May 5th, 2023, Paul Bartle Egan passed away, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and compassion that touched the hearts of all who knew him. A gifted soul with a heart full of love, Paul was a beacon of hope. Using his skills as a professional mechanical engineer, he cherished every opportunity to share his talents and be of assistance to others. Through his tireless work as "The Bike Guy" he reclaimed, repaired, and donated over 1,700 bikes to members of the CT Shoreline communities. His advocacy work with the Bike & Pedestrian Alliance and his work at Bike Safety Day with Clinton Families Helping Families and the Clinton Police Department made his community a more vibrant place. A talented musician and actor, he performed with numerous choirs, choral groups, and community theater companies.
The touchstone of Paul “the Bike Guy” Egan’s life was giving of himself. I encourage you to follow his example and give generously to these organizations whose mission and programs enhance the quality of life of our communities. Let your kindness affect the world. Be like Paul!
