None of that bothers me one iota. I don't think most of us ride for recognition, but if Ryan gets some I see that as good. It can't help but be good for cycling as a whole to have a idealistic young man in the news for riding a bicycle across the country. Look at the interviews, he
is an excellent ambassador for his cause and cycling as well. Really, it must be hard to not like him; it seems like you would have to work at it.
