CLINICAL DEATH SURVIVOR TO PRESENT AUTOBIOGRAPHY AT THE AVID READER ON OCTOBER 21 IN ADVANCE OF NATIONAL BIKE GREENWAY FESTIVAL<\/p>\n

\"unnamed-9\"The Avid Reader<\/strong> <\/a>is happy to welcome clinical death survivor and high-wheel bicyclist Martin Krieg for a presentation, discussion, and signing of his autobiography, \u201cAwake Again: All the Way Back from Head Injury\u201d<\/strong> on Friday, October 21, 2016 starting at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cAwake Again: All the Way Back from Head Injury\u201d is the true story of how Krieg, in an attempt to offset all the merciless bullying that defined his life, tried to prove his manhood by living a life of danger. Turning from his bicycle to motorcycles and fast cars, he kept taking foolish risks until he died clinically as a result of an automobile collision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Soon, he found the grueling rehabilitation that resulted from a two-month coma, heart seizures and right-side paralysis placed his masculinity on center stage. Powering through one obstacle after another, he was able to walk for a few steps, and then a few steps more, until it all gave way to long bicycle rides and beginning to fine-tune his physical and emotional well-being. During this time, he developed an insatiable appetite for self-help books that ultimately suggested he use his story to make life easier for others.<\/p>\n

From this inspiration came the idea for the National Bicycle Greenway<\/strong>, a coast-to-coast bicycle right of way after his second bike ride across America in 1986. When \u201cAwake Again\u201d first came out in 1994, Krieg got even more serious about the Greenway, which nonprofit volunteers helped him form. In 2010, Krieg lost his tax-exempt status for the National Bicycle Greenway when he moved to Ireland to raise his now 5-year-old son.<\/p>\n

Former Lockheed-Martin Director John Hartin says he finds himself still picking up Krieg\u2019s book \u201cjust to browse and remind me of [Krieg\u2019s] struggles and endless determination.\u201d<\/p>\n

A resident of Davis, CA for the last year, Krieg is working to make his new city the home of the National Bicycle Greenway organization he is rebuilding. He is also the author of \u201cHow to Bike America,\u201d and is a graduate of California State University Hayward\u2019s business school, and a former accountant.<\/p>\n
