2006 Mayors' Ride Schedule + New Podcasts: HiWheel legend & Bent legend

On Friday, we interviewed Jack Castor, a former engineer turned TransAmerica HiWheel legend and the survivor of the internet famous Jack's Crash. Do get a listen as we talk about his ride, his spectacular crash and the antique bikes and cars that now fill his oceanside home.

The previous Friday we talked to Randy Schlitter, one of the pioneers of the present day recumbent movement. A man who among other things, under the company name, Rans, manufactures both bicycles and airplanes, we talk about the products he manufactures, the Sail Trike that got it all started back in the '70' and even the book he is writing that also has the capacity to provoke another whole new way of thinking. To hear Randy, go to:

In addition, our 2006 Mayors' Ride schedule is now out!! As a dry run for my 2007 Author Tour which will run from Boston to SF, we are still trying to see if we can mobilize enough staff to keep the Southeast and Pacific Coast a part of this excitement. Advise if you want to help. See:

Restaurants, lodging and other support services will spring up along the Greenway, creating new jobs, and the structures that support these services will be designed to enhance the natural character of the Greenway. On some parts of the Greenway network, young people can find summer work transporting elderly and disabled people on bike taxis. Here, a bike shuttle service will also be available for transporting items that are inconvenient to be carried on a bicycle.

We need your support!
