I'm taking methotrexate and plaquenil right now. I seem to be responding well to treatment, so there's some good news! And while the healthcare system is great here, biologics aren't currently covered by provincial health care and are still quite expensive. There's hope that with some lobbying

Cecily, Incorrect information and typos aside, it's a great story about you and cycling. That is one beautiful bike and you look very happy to be riding around on it. On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 1:24:22 PM UTC-6, Cecily Walker wrote: A friend wrote a profile of me and my Betty Foy for a

Always fun to hear/read of another's bike/Riv story. I've had first hand knowledge of a couple newspaper and magazine articles over the years and they've all had factual errors. Makes you wonder what other errors are slipping in there on more important matters. --Smitty On Wednesday,

I'm so happy for you, Cecily! I hope they can fix some of the factual errors-- but I think it's tough for non-bikers to see the actual price without cringing. (For me, not too long ago ~$1,200 seemed like a lot for a complete bike. But that Crosscheck was a gateway to bicycles, and I'm

Nonetheless, it's a nice article and I'm glad you're happy with your bike. Saddle adjustment still working for you? Regards On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 2:24:22 PM UTC-5, Cecily Walker wrote: A friend wrote a profile of me and my Betty Foy for a local newspaper:

Yeah, trying to get them to correct the errors has been like pulling hens' teeth. I know the photographer took some photos of the lugs, but for whatever reason they chose not to run them with the article. On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 1:57:53 PM UTC-7, Shoji Takahashi wrote: I'm so

Fun article, and great publicity for bicycling and Libraries ;-) but the typos and grammatical errors are distracting. I wrote to the editors, asking that they clean up the mistakes. - Andrew, Berkeley On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 12:24:22 PM UTC-7, Cecily Walker wrote: A friend wrote a

Love the photos... Especially the joy on your face! I'm continually amazed at reporters who find it so hard to get fact and interviews right. In a previous life I dealt a lot with the press and seldom was I ever quoted correctly. I know all to well what life is like with an invisible
