What's your role on campus?
Associate Professor, Geography
How long have you been riding a bike?
Rode as a kid like everyone where I grew up back then. I've been a bike commuter since about 1990. Raced for a few years in the 90s. I've been commuting by bike at UNR almost exclusively since 2020.
What's the most fun you've ever had on a bike?
That's a tough one so I'm going to give you two answers:
1) in college at Madison, some good friends and I would ride around town on our racing bikes, fancy sunglasses, and shaved legs and think we were really cool. And the camaraderie combined with post-ride food/drinks (which taste AMAZING after riding) just brought us a lot of happiness and great memories.
2) My wife and I got a tandem right after we got married and we did a really nice rail-to-trail B&B bike tour in the driftless (unglaciated/hilly) area of SE Minnesota. Beautiful area, fun time, and a great test for compatibility (we're still married!).
What's great about bike commuting to the 推荐杏吧原创?
We have great weather, improving infrastructure, and great potential to get more people on bikes, e-bikes, and other forms of micromobility.
