Some are getting an early start. >From today's WSJ---page A2 Conklin: Lawmaking biker veers left
Rep. Steve Wieckert, a Republican from Appleton, is taking his prep for Bike to Work Week seriously -- at no small personal cost. He got an early start Friday on a 30-year-old Schwinn 10-speed, biking from Madison to an appointment in Ripon, although he somehow ended up missing his wife at the planned meeting time there. Then Sunday he decided to do the full route from his home in Appleton to Madison. He made it . . . but it took 15 hours (thanks to fierce winds), and along the route he lost his wallet. Wieckert blames Democratic Rep. Spencer Black, who gave him his Wisconsin biking map. "Spencer kept telling me to take lefts when I wanted to take rights," jokes Wieckert. "The gol-darn liberal." Unfazed by loss of wife and wallet (both have since been located), Wieckert plans to continue his biking ways: "The countryside was beautiful. It was inspirational." --- "Ali Dwyer, Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Bike to Work Week supporters and riders, > > Spring is here, marked well by abundant rain and > flowering trees.
