Spin-Your-Wheels

Spin Your Wheels has put together a nice video recapping last weekend’s great ride:

Congrats to Amy Petty for again being an excellent ride spokesperson! :)

I was planning on writing a recap of my car free in Oklahoma City experiment every week, but last week was extremely busy so a two-week summary will have to do.  To be perfectly honest, this makes it easier because it has really been an uneventful transition to being car free.  I had planned on feeling some sort of anxiety or experiencing some real difficulties, but really it has been smooth sailing.  Some of this has been due to the heavy work load which has kept me mostly at home or at work.  But really, as much as you can come up with the need for a car, you can also just as easily allot a bit more travel time and make your way by bike.  I can certainly say the trip will be more enjoyable.

NewsOK has put together a really nice video story about this Saturday’s Spin Your Wheels ride which raises money for The Children’s Center.  The piece features my personal friend and great riding companion Amy Petty, who should probably be their permanent PR person for the ride:

I will be out there this year attempting my first century in many, many years. I would love to meet any readers who are also joining. So if you pass a slow-moving bearded guy on a pretty blue bike, be sure to say hi.
