Mike Schechter is not a spokesman for dieting fads and get thin quick schemes; instead he promotes all the benefits of the cycling life. Resident of the Northwest since 1997 and cycling enthusiast since 2009, he accomplished a goal that many people find difficult, even impossible, to achieve: he lost weight, and not just a few fluctuating vanity pounds.

How Cyclists Helped Rethink A Bridge
In the spring of 2009, the Oregon and the Washington State Department of Transportation and other business interest groups were pushing the Columbia River Crossing project, a 4 billion dollar, 12-lane bridge planned to replace the existing I-5 structure between Oregon and Washington. Jamming a 12-lane freeway through the center of Portland looked like 20th century thinking.

Part two of a two-part conversation between Maynard and his friend Corey. Last month they were talking about club rides and the advantages and disadvantages of participating in them.
Tour De Lance: The Extraordinary Story Of Lance Armstrong’s Fight to Reclaim The Tour de France
Saddle back up and reclaim the Tour de France? Dream on. Sports comebacks are unwieldy animals that rarely go according to plan, or end well. More than baseball, boxing or basketball, bicycle racing offers absolutely no margin for error, no wiggle room, no accommodations for age or motivation.
On the Club Ride
Club life was different 30-odd years ago. Rides were structured and instruction or discipline was often harsh. We were young, malleable and hungry for knowledge. We felt lucky to learn about the sport from seasoned riders. Recently I’ve begun riding with a local club.
