I know firsthand how a bicycle can provide independence, and push oneself to the limit. I have cycled 421 miles in just seven days in Florida. I often reminisce on my journey, and hear those faint shouts “car back! car up!” frequently in my head. Four years ago, the prospect of biking 60 miles a day…
