Rider

Philip Lohman


From Long Beach CA


Commutes 9 Miles RoundTrip for 30 years and months
Seven days a week, my bike is my primary transportation Year Round

From Belmont Shore to downtown Long Beach along beach bikeway (daylight only, best on weekdays) or 2nd Street (one way west) and 1st Street (one way east).

58, consulting firm marketing exec. Ex-college prof. Bike nut: I own several bikes; I also tour and ride an occasional century. Also environmental activist and part-time mountain bum.

Well, let's see. In thirty years, much of it over long distances and in heavy traffic, I've never gotten a scratch. I did, however, FALL off my bike one night in the parking lot of a friend's apartment complex when I absent-mindedly hit a speed bump. Left wrist broken in three places, six months in a cast. Very embarassing. Wrist still looks a little...uh...funny.

Work to live, live to ride, ride to work!
