Avert your eyes, if you must, from the pale glare of my just-ditched-my-car complexion. Even I needed the protection of a stout pair of sunglasses in this picture.
I assure you that the passage of two years since the snapshot of me on Southern California Public Radio’s website was taken has left me with a suitably weird cyclist tan. The kind which guarantees beach visits are solitary affairs, and the prospect of a summer pool party invitation is enough to set me into a full-scale panic.
But I’ve never been one for photographic self-promotion, and I was told there must be a suitably bikey picture of me to illustrate an interview green blogger extraordinaire Katherine Butler did with me about urban cycling. So you gets what you gets.
Suitably warned, feel free to step right up and check out the full text of Katherine’s piece, Want to start city biking? Here is your how-to. In which I try to sound like I know something about bicycles, while clearly looking awkward around my own.
Thanks to Katherine and Southern California Public Radio for their attention to urban cycling. Let’s ride!
