About me:
I bicycle mostly because it reminds me of when I was young and when biking felt as if I was flying through the streets. I love mountain biking for the adventure, cruising on lake shore drive for relaxation, and getting around cities for its unique mobility.

I am an urban planner and have found a new respect and cause for biking and see it as a prime mode of transportation. Ever go to danmark or amsterdam? You'll know what I mean.

I am creating a plan to restructure the roadways on the major arterials in East Lakeview which includes an extensive bicycle plan for the neighborhood. A real bicycle framework. Why East Lakeview rather than other parts of the city?

Read my plan and find out.

Latest Bicycle Excursion 1/6/09

My latest bicycle trip was biking through the everglades on a 10 foot wide bike path.

Often, we had to ride around them. It was exhilarating and incredible and kinda scary. I felt as if I had entered Jurassic Park.

Not to miss!!!

Any word on the person's condition?
