I rode with Hiltner. We were both in the Santa Monic Cycling Club. We used to make him put rocks in his jersey for a handicap. I think he get little credit for being one of the first to convert cruisers to mountain bikes. I suppose because he was from Southern California, he wasn't in with the group in Northern California. He used to pop out on the road in Griffith Park and scare me. The last time I rode with him in the early 80's, he was still riding a bike that had a seat tube front derailleur shifter lever. For all of us from the 60's, he was the man.
