"I have logged over
100,000 bicycle miles commuting, racing and touring in 26 states and 4
countries. I am a member of Pasadena Athletic Association's bicycle team and
hold a USCF Masters category 3 racing license.
"While I was serving on
Pasadena Mayor's Bicycle Task Force in 1991, I designed the highly successful
Rose Bowl Loop for bicycle supremacy and helped design and implement several
plans that made Pasadena a more bicycle friendly city including bike lockers in
various places in town and bike routes that actually go somewhere.
"During this
time I also discovered the Horace Dobbins Cycleway. With 25 years in the
construction industry, the concept is intriguing. I ran preliminary numbers and
saw that it would work. The more I investigated the site, the more ideal it
appeared.
"Bicycling improved my life. Now I saw that it could improve the life
of LA."
