Greg Curnoe was a well known and inventive Canadian artist, who was also an avid and active cyclist, and owned several Mariposas. He lived and work in London Ontario and rode with a local cycling club. He often used cycling as the subject matter for much of his work, including some watercolours of his Mariposas. Tragically, he was killed about 10 years ago, while on a club ride, when the distracted driver of a pickup truck failed to see the group of riders and plowed into them. Greg was apparently killed instantly and several others were seriously injured. Sadly we lost a very inventive artist, still in his prime
