for a while anyways?


HI, I'm Nicky!

MY Bike is an Easy Racers SC-1 Lite (recumbent)

I have two beautiful children, Kaela (3yrs) & Joshua (16 mos)

My hubby is wonderful and works so that I can stay home with the kids. He has a Vision VR-40 (recumbent also)

We live in Clinton, IA. We are getting into biking as a family. Nathan rides his bike to work as often as possible, so that I can have a car in case of emergency. We also tote the kids around in a trailer that we got at toys -r- us.... Nathan made a bracket for my bike because the one that came with it doesn't work on my bike, but it does on his. I am hoping to get back into shape within the year after having 2 babies!!!! Maybe we will be able to do the last day of RAGBRAI next summer. Hope to see some of you there!!


Oh yeah, check out the website my hubby manages.... www.irenew.org


The most renewable form of transportation... human powered, bicycles!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm not from Iowa, but I do think it is a beautiful state, and a cycling state too! One of the nations most active. Great Post! :)

Hi Nicky!!

I am not from Iowa either, but grew up in Illinois.

Took a look at hubby's website. Nice. I have responsibilities for environmental issues at my employer's facility and always interested in environmental issues ... including energy.

I would love to do the ride across Iowa some day.
