Nothing consistently gives me joy like meeting people who love bicycling and who buy my Bicycle Man book.
Such was the case with Bill, a hearty 84-year-old fella I met in Boulder City last Saturday.
Bill already read the book and sent this beautiful email to me:
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. After just reading a few pages I had a hard time not reading the next story so I already finished the whole book. I especially appreciated the Bill Fox chapters and your mother learning to ride later in life.
Also I am amazed at how many areas of the country you covered I am familiar with like my first job interview after graduation from Michigan State University was at IBM headquarters. That didn’t go well but I remember the scenic ride along the Hudson on the way to NYC where I did get my first real job at Manufactures Hanover Bank. Since I was a farm boy from Montana and I had a car I spent every available weekend going to Vermont for fresh air and freedom for biking and skiing and got to know the Connecticut turnpike area. Then you mentioned Highway 2 and Glacier Park. When you went through Shelby you went within 12 miles of the farm I grew up on.
After retiring I spent 10 winters in Florida enjoying the Courtney Campbell and the Clearwater Causeway bridges and the Pinellas Trail.
So it was great meeting you! Thank you very much for all you have done and are still doing to promote biking!
Bill DeVries That's a Dutch name and I was born in the Netherlands. No wonder I am a biker !!
Thank you, Bill!
