Kerrville Texas Testamony
by Bike Bug Mike Schneider

“I will be picking up another drive wheel when I get my next check probably somewhere around the third of next month. See I’m paralyzed and am in a wheelchair from a motorcycle wreck 30 years ago. An the hand cycle or trike is a necessity for me if I’m going to ride a bike anymore. (An I’m Going To Ride!!!) I was a mechanic so working on things is something I still do well.

Thanks and I’ll be looking forward to buying another drive wheel soon and will definitely spread the word about yall.” Reefard – Kerrville, TX

Sketches of Dallas’ First Bike Lane?
