Most Americans know where Schwinn and Huffy are made. It's about the soul and body that makes the bicycle go. One day I realized it's not about winning or feats of prized endurance. It's about the freedom we feel as we get from place to place. Under our own power, the peace that comes from knowing that there's a way out of any difficult situation. There seems to be no terrible thing in this world in which a bicycle and legs can't get out from under. God must have inspired the inventor/s of the bicycle. There's got to be bicycles in heaven. I'll take a Schwinn. It got me across the finish line with 299 trailing behind with one who was particularly irritated to have been beaten by a Schwinn and a skinny under-equipped amateur.
