mastodon 4.7.2Bikes, Photography, Pianist, Music, Cats, Nature, Board games; first career as musician / pianist/ piano teacher; 2nd (current) career as Bicycle Advocate, working on programs and projects to get more people bicycling. If I had a 3rd career it would be a photographer, but currently just enjoy taking photos, mostly of nature near where I live. I go on photo bike rides.
Views are my own
April 2026 Nature Photos are up on my flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/202479837@N05/albums/72177720333748166
Some of my favorites. Spring is fleeting - I had to make sure to get out there to try to capture it.

Columbus Grand Touring ride 5/9/26 - Our first Grand Touring Ride of 2026! We had a wonderful day for a bike ride on Saturday! After eating some pre-ride bagels, the group of 18 riders headed out on quiet country (and hilly) roads from Columbus IN to Story Indiana where we had lunch. Then the riders climbed and descended hills on the return to Columbus, including riding around Grandview Lake. Thanks to everyone for coming!
49.7 miles, 2800' climbing.
As of today I have been at Bicycle Garage Indy for 19 years! I've been a professional bicycle advocate for more than 27 years, something not many folks can say. In the early days of bicycle advocacy there were few organizations with paid staff and we all knew each other. Now there are hundreds of bicycle advocacy organizations throughout the US. No bicycle retailers had bicycle advocates on staff - that hasn't really changed. /n
