This bicycle is amazing.
And here's why.
It's a transportation tool of journalism for my work up and down the Strip.
Like tonight.
I used this 1980s Raleigh road bike to bike to Mandalay Bay to cover the Aces vs Mercury Game 1.
Then from that game I biked over to T-Mobile Arena to cover the VGK vs San Jose preseason game.
It was a joy to zip past all the cars stuck in traffic on Frank Sinatra Drive heading to the hockey arena.
This Raleigh is a bike I gave to my dad for his birthday nearly 40 years ago.
When I helped move my dad to an apartment in Hollywood, Fla., he no longer could safely ride this bicycle.
So, I thought the bicycle would live on as my commuter bike in the Strip corridor.
It's all human-powered. No electric/motor assistance.
Pure leg power.
And I can think about my dad every time I ride this bicycle.
The cycle of life.
