Don Greer Goes Bicycling: Pipestone Pass Video Part 3

My Cycling History

Inspired by some research I was conducting in 2007 on Omaha's recreational trails, I took out my old Schwinn and started riding it occasionally. By the summer of '08 this was becoming a strong habit... At the age of 60 I was riding more and more regularly and was very proud to have ridden 2000 miles by the end of that year. My weight dropped pretty quickly from a flabby 250 pounds. I was having lots of fun.

And now here I am nearly four years later with over 19,000 miles ridden and seven or eight bicycles either bought or built by me. Bicycling as a means of exploration, self-discovery and, of course, health enhancement is a major force in my life. I know I will never race or keep up with with lighter and younger riders.... but still... there's nothing wrong with striving to achieve a certain level of competence is there?
