John Kerry along with many other notables were in Paris for Lance's record setting 7th and last race. Senator Kerry, as well as, a gaggle of European press were all interested in the BikeTexas convoy and our cause celebre, bicycling education, Safe Routes to school and more. Media attention was high and we took every opportunity to let them interview us. Our cause and purpose won many a cycling fan over regardless of nationality. Everyone over here understands the beauty and importance of cycling for the pure enjoyment of it and the sport.
