Anyone who rides a bicycle is a friend, even if their style of riding is different from mine.

I am a bicycle advocate because I am lazy and selfish.

Lazy because I choose not to allocate my limited resources toward owning and operating an automobile

Selfish because I use the bicycle facilities for which I advocate.

I have lived car-free since January 3, 1978

I have rolled over 86,500 miles of self-contained bicycle touring.

Among other tours, I bicycle around the world in 1995-1996: 20 countries, 20 months, 20,000 miles $20,000 (not planned, that's just the way it shook out)

In 2018 I commuted and rode my bicycle for transportation 6,000 miles.

My lugged-steel bicycle has baskets, fenders, lights and reflectors, rear-view mirror, bell (It looks like it belongs to a homeless person!)
