Christy, Jackson and Clinton, Chicago, IL

Christy rides a KHS aluminum frame 8-speed for upright riding with maximum versatility and minimum weight

I ran into (okay stalked is a better term) Christy on her way to a meeting in the Sears

Tower.  Don't let the sun deceive you, it was a nippy 29˚.  I'm so glad I did, because

she is such an inspiration.  Read her story below: 

After I herniated two cervical discs in summer 2010 my physical therapist basically said

'Get a bike that puts your body upright, or never bike again.' Suffice it to say, I bought a

new bike. It was a tough transition, because I go a whole lot slower now than on my old

Bianchi hybrid, but I've come to appreciate the slow ride and the improvement in my

symptoms. For that I have to thank my KHS Cidi 8-speed, plus the guys at Boulevard 

Bikes who helped me to find exactly the right model for my riding style and recent

physical challenges.

Thanks for sharing Christy!
