Meet J.C.

On a windy day in late February, we met J.C. sitting at the N. Braeswood and Chimney Rock bus stop, with his bicycle ready to load on the bus front carrier. He told me that in his early fifties, he made the decision to sell his car, and to rely on his bicycle and Houston busses to move around the city. That afternoon the wind was howling, so J.C. decided to use the bus to complete the final leg of his trip to his Stella Link destination.

J.C. says that his commitment to active transportation makes life much more affordable. The bicycle keeps him active and is good for his health. He appreciates the improved Brays Bayou Greenway and the Rabbi Karff Bridge that takes him to a crossing just east of Stella Link. we discussed the NTTSW request for improvements at that crossing to grab the attention of drivers when a cyclist or pedestrian is trying to cross N. Braeswood. He agrees that those improvements are needed.

J.C. thank for sharing your inspirational story. Hope to see you out on the trail.
