Lubbock on a Bike: 2016 National Bike Challenge Begins

For me. it started with a whimper, which is perfectly okay. Today is a strangely cold day, one of those that occasionally sneak up on you here in the Hub City.

The National Bike Challenge!!!

But the National Bike Challenge is not a sprint. It's a long-haul pursuit.

Today I will ride a mile or a little more. From here to the end of September, I hope to do the same every day, and to replace as many car trips as possible, and to encourage as many people as possible to do the same.

This year's awesome hand-me-down steed! Thanks, MN!

Here is to your health. your wealth, your prosperity, and the well-being of everyone you know. Pedal on, friends!
