When I visited my wife’s family in Michigan earlier this month, I had the privilege to meet and to ride with Sue Brewer and the Chaingang. Sue was so kind to lend me a bike for their regular Tuesday afternoon ride around Gull Lake. After the ride, we all enjoyed a couple of beers at Thunder Bird. Among the people I talked to, there were three survivors of the notorious 2016 accident, when a driver on drugs drove a pickup truck into a group of 9 cyclists, all members of the Chaingang. He killed 5 of them, 4 survived. It is a very, very sad story and I feel privileged that the three survivors shared the story and their feelings with me… Anyway, thank you, Jen Mancuso, for getting us in touch, and thank you, Sue Brewer, for making it happen and for the bike 😊. Hope we will cycle together again at some point!
