I started seriously biking 50 years ago, and for me it has always been a source of freedom and joy.
Once again I'll be riding 100 miles in the Bikes Not Bombs Bike-A-Thon. Bikes Not Bombs promotes cycling as an alternative form of transportation here and in the developing world. They refurbish donated bicycles and ship them by the container load to countries in Latin America and Africa. Here in Boston they train kids to fix their own bikes, and help them discover the liberating mobility that bikes provide.
