I was 10. I’m in me 60th year of riding and have gotten so much good from riding over the years. Trips, adventures, fun days, exploring new places when I move. I ride a cargo bike now. I gave up my car over 2 years ago. Live this and want to help others get a bike in there life.

As far back as I can remember being on my bike has brought me freedom, a sense of calm, the notion that I can get myself anywhere and do anything. When I lost my car due to bankruptcy I still had my bike and I rode 30miles to work each day. When I lost my mom I had my bike to ride and cry tears that were swept away by the wind. When I ride the rough edges of my life are worn smooth. I think, ponder, debate and process all the complications of everyday life and at the end I am thankful for the work and the sweat it took to get me back home.
