As alluded to last week, on Sunday the paper ran a story about what folks are doing to save gas money. It was on the front page of the lifestyle page, and covering the article was a 5x7 full color photo of me! Naturally I have gotten plenty of razzing over the last two days. Its been fun to be in the spotlight a little. Plenty of folks asking for my autograph and strangers at work saying "saw you in the paper..."
I really wish that the local paper had a more accessible online edition. The premium version is for paper subscribers only, and when I tried to set up an account they said I allready had one - but wouldn't let me use the password reset function. (These darn extranet sites - you'd think someone would figure them out.... uuh ... don't we do that too.... well, er)
So when I get the linkage figured out I'll post some sort of link to the article. But in the mean time, I'm just enjoying the glow.
Nice pic, you deserve all of your fame. It was good to see that either you weren't too bruised up or that the photographer was able to photoshop out your injuries.
The road rash was really only on my right arm and knee. I asked the photog to shoot away from it, and so its nicely hidden. No Photoshop required.
Congrats on your 15 secs. Here's your links.

You're using a mountain bike, not a road bike, to commute?
It's a very frustrating web site. They keep promising to improve it, but then only make minor changes. Anyway, check your email...
