What got you into biking?

My Dad. He immigrated to the US from Italy in 1948.
He was PASSIONATE about bicycling and participated in amateur races at Bell Isle park in Detroit as I was growing up. One of our favorite things to do together was to go bike riding.

Here he is on his beloved racing bike, in 1956.

Wow, that's a great picture! And your story brought a tear to my eye.

This is so touching, that you got to share such pleasurable outings with your dad. It also struck a nerve because I grew up in Detroit (we moved when I was young) and my mom used to take me to drives around Belle Isle on warm summer evenings. I have very fond and warm memories of that park.
