Until recently , my cycling has attracted little attention. Since moving to northern Illinois, my daily bike commute to and from work has been the focus of a number of articles. The 60 mile round trip has drawn a response from both those who think I am insane and those who admire my dedication.

Below are a few of the articles which have appeared in the local press. Enjoy!
