My Life Behind Bars

My Life on a Bike

My life on a bike began as a child and progressed to becoming a professional bike racer, coach, and velodrome director. This journey spanned over 65 years while I held down a job as a union musician and woodworker.

Contributions to the Sport

I ran coaching programs, children's after-school cycling programs, and organized bike racing events. I also worked to gain sponsorship for a sport that can be very expensive in equipment, travel expenses, license fees, and entry fees.

Passion and Impact

My love for the sport was contagious, and I made a difference by leaving the sport better than when I started.
