m-bike.org posts a piece from Grosse Pointe Today about a Grosse Pointe lawyer who bikes to his Detroit office.
Excerpt from the profile:
Roach, 48, is a lawyer
at Miller Canfield in downtown Detroit. Several times a week, weather
permitting, he leaves his car at home and commutes from his Grosse
Pointe Park house to his office by bicycle. The 8.5-mile route carries
him into decaying neighborhoods, over rutted pavement and sometimes
through sweltering heat, but all of this doesn’t stop him, or even slow
him down, and it certainly doesn’t bum him out. Exercise is its own
reward.
“It occurred to me that
it takes me at least 20 minutes to drive (to my office), and I started
thinking I bet I could ride (there) in 20. I’m able to clear my head
and enjoy it. For an extra 20 minutes of commuting a day, I get an
hour’s worth of exercise.”
