Day 20: Bike to Work Day!

Friday was a great day for Bike to Work Day. The weather was perfect. I found this online and I think it's better than anything I could say.

I am a 72 year old great grandmother of 5 who has been cycling with the Sacramento Wheelmen since 1977. I retired in 2000 and cycle as many miles now as I did when I worked.

Ten years ago I developed arthritis in my thumb joints and could no longer ride a traditional road bike. I went to Steve Rex and told him what I could and Could not do as far as a bike goes. He came up with a truly great bike for me, a little on the funky side but it works for me. I ride about 3000 miles a year, with the bike clubs, with my husband, daughter and alone.

Cycle for your well being!!

1.) Well, the post starts off as "Friday was a great day for Bike to Work Day", so that's pretty clear.

2.) Not if I don't have to do it!
