Sharing the Ride
I was fourteen years old when my brother was born. I can still you details from that very day - about how we ordered pizza to the hospital, only for Aiden to be born a few minutes later. Or about how small he seemed as he lay in a bed in the NICU. Something about our age gap has always made my youngest bother special to me. When I graduated high school, Aiden was only four years old and so my lifelong dreams of moving across the country for college, and studying abroad, were put on hold. … [Read more...]
Baltimore Bicycle Coffee Tour
If you know me at all, even on a social media level, you would know very quickly that one of my biggest interests is coffee. I just love the glorious, energy gifting brown liquid.

I moved from a house in the woods on … [Read more...]

I get it, helmets may not be the most fun or stylish things to wear, especially if you’re a girl and don’t want to mess up your hairdo. But hey, let’s talk about this. Is it really worth putting your safety at risk to look cool? Is your hairstyle really more important than protecting your brain? Strap on your helmet before you go for a ride, and make sure your friends, family and children do the same. According to … [Read more...]
Next Generation’s Schwinners
As the only grandparents in the group of ambassadors and one of the few old enough to remember Schwinn's heyday of the 1970's, I feel it's my duty to bring awareness of the brand to the next generation. I started my daughter off with her Schwinn in the late 1990's and now she's a mom, so we already started our grandson off with his first Schwinn, the Roadster Trike in the quintessential, and Schwinn's trademark red color. Oliver's second birthday was July 10th, and we are expecting a … [Read more...]
