Andreas Mandalka, better known as natenom — an untiring proponent of road safety who was killed this week while riding his bicycle on a road for which he had meticulously documented how ruthlessly some car drivers behave in the presence of cyclists.

I only knew him through online channels but have been touched by this event.

In response, while I am still grappling with details of the situation, I am trying to do something useful. I thus

started a Wikidata item for him.
joined the organization OpenBikeSensor e.V. that he had helped found.
tried to archive his website via the Internet Archive but this failed (I pinged them).

I've read about a dozen obituaries or other posts about his passing so far. Perhaps I should start to collect them, so here is the one I just read: https://bw.adfc.de/artikel/nachruf-natenom .

Meanwhile, there is an entry about him in the German Wikipedia, and it has passed a deletion discussion. That article is a better place to collect obituaries and related materials.
