OT... but my mother, back in 1942, after 
divorcing her abusive Ex (One of the main 
architects of the Golden Gate Bridge), 
bicycled by herself from Philly to Key 
West, by herself, took a ferry to Cuba, 
bicycled around the island for a month 
before returning to the mainland to take 
the train back to Philly.

For those of you on Facebook, here she is 
in 1942 with her bike, on the Tamiami 
trail on the way there:

Had she only had a KX-1 on her ride, I may 
have had a different father...

:D
