My Life on a bike as a child to being a professional bike racer, coach, and velodrome director; this was done over 65 years while holding down a job as a union musician, and woodworker. I ran coaching programs children's after school cycling programs put on bike racing events and worked to gain sponsorship for a sport that can be very expensive in equipment, travel expenses, license fees and entry fees. My love for the sport was contagious and I made a difference and left the sport better than when I started.
