That was an excellent read. You are an inspiration! See you soon along that “same route” sometime soon I hope.

Here is a piece I wrote about cycling and recovery from cancer.

Thanks to acc for inspiring me to write it, and Mark Blacknell for the photo (and who gets a photo credit).

LIZ!!!!! You hit it out of the park!!! What a great article!! You hit all the perfect notes. Thanks for your advocacy. You’re almost tolerable to ride with.

Great article! My wife, as a cancer survivor will very much appreciate it as well.

Semi-related – I JUST finally put it together that eminva = Elizabeth MacGregor that lady I interact with on Strava and the National Bike Challenge.

Awesome!

Rock!

Wow! I had no idea. You are such a strong rider, I assumed it was always so. Great article! You do so much to encourage and help others to become cyclists, in so many ways, as a cycling instructor, at your workplace, the scout troop, this article, and probably in ways I don’t know about. Thanks.

Outstanding.
Compelling subject and well written.
Thank you for sharing this aspect of your life so that others might be inspired to also live well.

Wow, you are one tough, inspiring broad.

I’ve sent it on to a friend of mine who just finished treatment for breast cancer.

Best wishes for a long, healthy life.

Just a really, really great article and very inspirational. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

No wonder you were such a great Freezing Saddles team captain – you are just a natural born ass-kicker. Cancer’s ass was just another thing on the list.

Seriously – that article was mega-inspiring. I posted it on fb and I really hope it takes off. You did an unbelievable job of synthesizing the joy and wonder of bicycle commuting.

THANK YOU.

[Justin Antos]

Inspirational.

Great essay! Thanks for sharing. I especially like the “act of defiance” of riding to the doctors and “how is it safe not to?” I might start using that one, with your permission.

[creadinger]

I think this article will break records in the fact that it may be the first ever essay about cycling posted on a news outlet that is NOT dominated by anti-cyclist, hateful comments. It’s only been up for a day so far, but I can’t imagine anyone having something bad to say about your story.

Sorry for the delay been out! Excellent article. Very helpful for all of us! Thank you and Stay Strong!
