A colleague of mine, who happens to be a casual bike commuter and cycling enthusiast, sent me this CNN story about an unlikely hero. An 84-year old woman has been riding New Jersey's MS City to Shore charity ride for the past 26 years, and does so in a dress and heels!
She is a symbol of hope for so many and has a great reason to ride, but let's not forget that you don't need a large scale charity event to get out on your bike. Biking around the neighbor to run errands, commuting to work, or even just getting out and enjoying some fresh autumn air are all great reason to go for a ride.
Tim Kelley is one of the newest members of the Arlington Transportation Partners team working on the Bike Arlington program. He enjoys cycling as a form of commuting and exercise, and is hooked on triathlons.
