I<\/span> am coming up for air after dedicating my Holiday Season to getting important work done. I finished the first draft of the manuscript for \u00a0“How to Move Mountains with Love and How Love\u00a0Can Revitalize Our Communities, Nation and the World with the National Bicycle Greenway”<\/strong>. Now I can start looking for an editor (suggestions welcome). Due in April, I will be using the next several months to keep tweaking it as I also search for an artist for the book’s cover (suggestions welcome here as well). All this \u00a0as I power back into the campaign that will, using\u00a0the example of our Virtual Tour of Reno<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0allow me \u00a0to research (on the collapsible Lightning P-38 Voyager<\/a>) \u00a0 as many as five east coast NBG Anchor cities for the purpose of their getting Virtual Tours of their own. This\u00a0after we tour the SF Bay Area and American River Pkwy next May.Here is the\u00a0\u00a0Schedule<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ust also got the transcription<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0loaded of the podcast interview I did with Jerrell Nichols<\/a>, the new owner of Rans Bicycles<\/a>. In preparing\u00a0\u00a0it for the written word, I am even more impressed by Jerrell and the magic I know he and his wife will bring to Rans. Do consider this from our exchange:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

“If car manufacturers tried to build bikes they would build cars where you put a bunch of weight on the steering wheel and sat on a narrow seat and had to lift your head to look out of the windshield, it’s questionable how many cars you would actually sell.”<\/span><\/div>\n

J<\/span>ohan Verink, from Holland sized this down to 43 seconds and sent it to me!! This was taken of me “flying” The Eagle Bicycle<\/a> at Trader Joe’s here in Davis, CA. It was wet out and I had a lot of stuff I was carrying so the mount was not graceful……<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
