Cycling Sisters

This picture was taken during "Bike to Work Rally" at Daley plaza, in June 2003.
I got an invitation from Stan and Terry show on WCKG 105.9 Radio to talk about the bike. I asked our repto Jane to join me there. (I am glad she did. Since I am from Cleveland, I can't talk much!). We were on air for about 20 minutes on 6-6-06 promoting Cycling Sisters, CBF, The Wheelmen and Bike Summer Chicago. Also promoting the workshop Jane and I will be giving at the CBF tomorrow about Cycling in the city with kids and groceries.. -Cigdem Tunar, June 6, 2006.

my story of the day, June 4, 2006, Sunday

i saw a fairly young family (average of 39-42) at north branch trail today. they went by and leave me a sweet spring breeze on my face and a great memory of a cycling family schenery in my vision..

a woman with a trailer and 2 babies in the trailer.
followed by (dad?) on a tandem bicycle with kid on the front seat (on the handlebar 2-3 yr old), an older kid (9-10) on the stoker, and a bicycle hooked on the back of the tandem with another boy (6-7 years old)
attention: this is a family with 5 young children!!! nothing is impossible..

psssst: somebody gotta tell them about birth controll! or they will run out of options to add a cyclist on their cyclo-convoy. how about a double decker cycle? such thing even exist?
