For about two years Gina Swickard had one Christmas wish she thought would never come true — she wanted to see her dog Quincy again.
This year she got her wish — she and her beloved standard poodle were reunited.
“He is a happy Christmas miracle,” Swickard said.
How the pair were separated, and then reunited, is quite a story.
It’s a Christmas dream for many children; a new bicycle under the tree.Read full story here.
Now, more kids will be on two wheels... thanks in part to a local bike shop. “Bicycle X-change” has been giving away refurbished bikes to local schools for more than 10 years and this year is no different.
From Udall Custom Bikes...I decided to give all the local members who helped with Auction Bike a chance to see the finished bike and give it a test ride so we can have some opinions other than mine on how it turned out.
If any one else would care to join us we are meeting at Exploration Place in Wichita Saturday 11/26 at 11am.
We will snap some pics and then go for a ride along the river. Bring a bike and a coat and see what you will be bidding on.
Auction begins December 1 at 12:01am CST and will run for 5 days and will end at 11:59pm CST. There will be a thread posted in the "Bike Talk" forum to host the Auction Action.
Hope to see you guys there.
The Wichita Bicycle Master Plan consultants recently had a great opportunity to see the fall colors in Wichita, as they traveled more than 1,200 miles collecting data about the Study Network roadways. The roadways were identified during the planning process as potential locations for future bicycle facilities. The data they collected includes width measurements, number of lanes, parking configuration and other information. This information will be used to help to create the Draft Bikeway Network, a recommendation for a feasible network of bicycle facilities that serves all parts of the City. Look for more information about the Draft Bikeway Network this spring.Read more here.
