That is a great write up - congratulations on your story. And on getting a reporter with some creative writing skills. It was a fun read.

What wonderful memories you have made together.When her daughter Celina, now nearly 40, turned 16, they took their first trip of about 500 miles. Since then they've biked cross-country, sometimes taking their bikes along on the train. Once they shipped their bikes to Maine, and rode up the coast to Nova Scotia. Mast hopes to tour southwest China as well as the Columbia River Gorge.

Those weren't my memories... I'm the president of the cycling club. My only teeny tiny wish for change was that I wish she'd mentioned (but she probabluy didn't think to ask, didn't think it was likely) that I, too, use the bike and not a car and don't think Joyce is crazy at all
Furthest I've been, though, is a ride to Bloomington

Put in a plug for the Urbana Bicycle Master Plan, eh? The biz folks downtown seem to think that if there are bike facilities there, they'll go broke. You know, because their customers don't ride bikes and all. (I've been thinking of putting together a business card that says "cyclists are shoppers, too! support the bicycle master plan!
