Chris On The Move

In honor of big brother Chris' Chicago to River Falls bike trip and his 60th birthday, here are some photos of epic bike trips of the past.

1955. Two years old. Not sure where he is or even if he's exploring Valparaiso or Ann Arbor but this is how it all started.

1956. Exploring Ann Arbor. 4 Marshall Court to Division and back.

1957. More Marshall Court. Okay, not a bike, exactly. More of an aspirational vehicle for Little Chris' dreams of travel adventure. I doubt he got as far in this pedal car as he did on the trike.










Here we have a journey down Hedges Street (now incorporated into the Heidelberg College campus), Tiffin, Ohio in 1958.

1967. The car had a paint makeover and Chris is cruising the driveway in River Falls, Wisconsin.

1976. Going nowhere fast. A bit of a fallow period for bike pictures. Dig the bell bottoms and lavender shirt though.

Okay this is more like it. Here's one from a bike trip around Minneapolis in 2010. Bon Voyage and Happy Birthday Chris!
