When shipping and airline companies are out to get your pocket book, they can only reach so far when it comes to your bicycle. The mega companies that wing us from continent to continent often have no sympathy for avid cyclists and our needs to be mobile while on vacation. Why can’t we get the best of both worlds, and bring our beloved sport with us? Well, now we can, thanks to the men doing work at Freeman Transport!
Kim Burgas works as a graphic and web designer in New York City. She can be spotted crossing the Williamsburg bridge from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where she recently relocated to from Cincinnati, OH. She has been cycling for over 5 years and drawing since she was a child. The two converged about a year ago when bicycles became a subject in her art. She enjoys cycling in all its forms: as a commuter, a social rider, and for recreation. Her work has been exhibited in Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and Japan.
Riding Bear Creek for the first time with my 10-year-old son recently brought back memories of when I began visiting the trail almost 20 years ago—before bikes had shock absorbers, disk brakes, or clipless pedals. GPS? Must’ve been some weird trail name we’d not yet figured out. All I cared about was making the trip every weekend to test man and machine against some real hills, and then maybe stop off to sample some of Col. Poole’s finest barbecue at the Taj-Ma-Hog.
