a cyclist's obituary
From today's item on David Rockefeller (1915~2017)
'On a bicycling trip to Britain at age 17, he looked forward to adventure far from family. Then a friend of the family, alerted to his presence, insisted on whicking him off to a dinner dance with royalty at St James Palace. "My day was ruined", he later wrote' -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Bike touring an almost car-free Britain, vs. hobnobbing with wealthy snobs who hadn't worked a day in their life. Easy choice. And it's easy to imagine his disappointment. -- - Frank Krygowski |
