Nathan and his Novara Bonita |
The cool thing about being asked to profile Anchorage riders for the Bicycle Commuters of Anchorage website is that I get to meet some amazing people.
The latest is Nathan, a 12-year-old sixth-grader who bought his own studded tires this winter so he could ride his bike to school every day. I'm postponing the silly blog post I had planned for today — which is Bike to School Day — so that anyone who lands here will go read about a kid who will give you hope.
“There’s just not too many Nathans out there," his school librarian told me.

Awesome!
Yeah Nathan!! I purchased my first studded tires this year too - of course the winter was so mild down here I didn't get to use them, but I did ride to work every day.
Nathan is the coolest kid I have ever heard of!
Excellent article Tim. It's nice hearing stories like this rather than what we so often read in the news. Thanks!
