Our friend and regular reader Chris Raczkowski (who posts under the name “Ragged Claws”) was interviewed on one of the local news stations in Mobile, Alabama. Chris sold his car and dedicated himself to using a bicycle for transportation. As a long-time former resident of Mobile, I can say that doing so in that city is no small feat, so “bravo” to Chris for doing this. Bicycling infrastructure is virtually nonexistant, roads are narrow and poorly-maintained and car culture dominates the landscape. Plus, there are a LOT of hills to conquer! But, Chris did an excellent job of illustrating the many benefits of using a bicycle as transportation, and he looks like he’s having a blast doing it.
Check out the story and video – good stuff!
Chris, I see my “talking points” came in handy. Glad you threw in the bit about bike commuting being fun — the best reason to give it a try! Ride on, friend, ride on…
