Bike Bikes Bikes!
Growing up in a small town in rural southern New Hampshire, bikes quickly became the lifeline for us to visit our friends, go to Baboosic Lake in the summers, and get around town. If we threw bikes in our dad’s pickup truck, we could skip Church after Sunday School and bike home from the town next door. That was an easy choice for me and my twin. 😉

Bleah, so… I’m an idiot / can’t be trusted around fence posts. UNBELIEVABLY, only 2-1/2 years from breaking my right elbow in a bike crash, I break my left elbow, the same *damned way… 💥

🤬 While racing a bike Strava segment, during our weekly group ride with our friends, I broke my elbow in two! Due to the kind of break, it required surgery & cyborg 🦾 upgrades. Surprisingly, I had very little pain throughout as long as I didn’t move it to a painful position.

Our amazing next door neighbor, Reenie Raschke, the super talented photographer has lovingly chronicled our town in a black-and-white pictorial called “My Town Montclair”.
