About Me

On May 17th, 2007 about a hundred cyclists gathered at the Hollywood/Western pit stop for Bike To Work Day. A lot of these cyclists took the day off, or called in sick so they could ride down to City Hall to get their voices heard by our city leaders.

Stephen and I arrived at 4:30 am for the NBC's morning coverage of our Pit Stop, and Stephen Box was interviewed regarding bicycling issues, how to encourage drivers to be safer around cyclist, about the Jen Diamond $50.000 hit-and-run reward, and what the City Hall ride was all about.

My Interests

Biking. Riding a bike. Social bike rides. Community building. Foot traffic. Critical Mass. Group rides. Walking. Meeting cyclists. Watching cyclists, young and old.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who uses their feet to get to work. Anybody who pushes the pedal and the pavement. (Not the gas pedal!) If you bike to the movie theater, if you bike or walk to do your grocery shopping, if you support your local businesses by creating foot and bike traffic, then I want to meet you!
