A North Texas Paralympic cyclist died Thursday after being hit by a vehicle while cycling a route he traveled daily. McKinney Police have not yet release more details surrounding the crash at the intersection of Alma Drive and Texas 121. However, the cycling community has already rallied around its fallen member.

Dory Selinger, 54, was a three-time world champion and won four Paralympic medals in track cycling—gold in Atlanta in 1996 and three more medals in Sydney in 2000, according to friend Ryan Crissey. 

“As much as he loved riding & racing, his real love was his family,” Crissey wrote in a Thursday evening Instagram post announcing Selinger’s death.

By Friday morning, the post had already gathered hundreds of likes and dozens of comments from posters praying for his family or sending love. The social media account North Texas’ BikeMart/Matrix Cycling Team noted that the situation was happening “way too often here in North Texas.”

According to a Facebook Post from Michigan bike shop Alpine Bicycle, this is the fourth “tragically fatal act of traffic violence” to hit the Texas bike community in just months.

Crissey urged drivers to be mindful of cyclists on the road.

“We all need to get home. You may think it’s an inconvenience because you got stuck behind a cyclist for ten seconds. Ten seconds isn’t going to change your life, but it might change someone elses,” he told WFAA.

Selinger lost his leg on a ride in with friends in Northern California in the early 1990s. On a rainy day in January 1993, Selinger and a peloton of cyclists were riding through Alamo, east of Oakland, when a woman driving a white Ford Escort intentionally rammed into the group. The collision killed one of Selinger’s friends, according to a 2001 SFGate report, and put Selinger into a seven-day coma. He suffered a traumatic brain injury in the incident and ultimately lost his right leg to amputation.

“Find some good roads to ride up there….hope the wind is always at your back,” Bradley Cobb, a former teammate of Selinger’s, wrote on Facebook Thursday evening.

Crissey has started a GoFundMe page for family expenses in the crash’s aftermath. As of Friday morning, it had raised nearly $3,000 of the $25,000 goal.
