History:

Early 80's I raced and built BMX bikes.
Mid 90's I commuted via the "Blade" while I lived in Naperville IL.
2005 - Came back to cycling. Did both the Guinnethon and JDRF Death Valley ride
2007 - Rode more miles than I ever have, about 1000 despite having broken my elbows on Memorial day.
2008 - Bought the WW Cruiser the day I saw gas hit $3.45. It's much more difficult to go over the handebars on a trike.
2009 - Riding the new Kentwood trails a lot. Found half commuting works well (84th to 44th via Eastern.) Rode the Vermont JDRF Ride.
2010 - I'm on a mission from God
