Since the early 1980s I have ridden tens of thousands of miles 'no hands' on a ten-speed bicycle while playing a Fender Stratocaster guitar at the same time writing dozens of original songs. Many of these songs are available for free on this web site along with essays on various subjects, stories and pets.
Feb 9, 2012: I am filmed riding indoors playing the Beatles song Help!
Oct 15, 2007: A bicycling troubadour was the main story on the front page of The News-Review, Roseburg, Oregon.
