"Riding a bicycle has always been a part of our lives. When we were kids it was our means of transportation. Our memories are filled with images of us playing with our friends, running errands for our parents, and going to school. All these activities were accomplished on a bicycle. There are also the memories of just spending time down at the corner talking with friends while sitting on the trusty bike. Life was good!

While working and raising our family it was a joy to watch the kids outside enjoying their bicycles. Seeing them ride up and down the road and depending on them to run errands brought back fond memories of our own childhood. We would even occasionally sneak a ride for ourselves hoping to regain the freedom we had enjoyed as a child. Life was good!

Now that we are retired cycling has become an integral part of our lives. At first it was a means of improving fitness, but has since become a much bigger force. We still do the daily rides to maintain conditioning, but cycle touring has become our focus. There is no better way to see America than sitting on a bike traveling at 12mph. Life is good!"
