I'm Famous!
The local news showed up to a club ride last night and wanted to interview someone on bicycle safety. My club mates all decided I would be the best person to represent the club, and thus, my 15 minutes of fame have just begun:

Awesome! Good on ya for using a rear strobe. They really do help.
Nice to see that the community powers want to increase cycling safety.

Very cool! I usually only run my rear strobe during inclement weather, but now I'm thinking I should throw a couple of extra batteries in my bag and run it all the time. I rarely ride in urban areas, but folks on the back roads seem oblivious too. Must feel good that your club mates think so highly f you.

Awesome, but I was famous before you were:
Cyclists bring millions of dollars into Montana
The reporter called me out of the blue after reading my trip report on ACA's forum.
A group of us were also featured in the paper that includes Oxford Jct., IA when we stayed in a senior center to get free air conditioning during a cross country trip. I still have the article somewhere at home. I am surprised Hollywood didn't come knocking at my door after that one.
