Brad Lancaster wins 2014 Bicycle Commuter of the Year along with Juan Mungia
For years Brad has lived car free. He conducts all his local business by bicycle, and uses a bicycle for other kinds of trips most of us don’t think of as bikeable (including picking up friends from the airport after dark!). He is a role model because he is so consistently visible on the street. It’s one thing to ride a bike to and from work, but Brad thinks waaaay outside the box, and inspires many of us to go beyond our regular commute and see a bike as not just a supplemental form of transportation, but the primary form of transportation. I personally want to add that Brad is the only guy I know who knows the deal with long term bike parking at the airport.

See here for more about my bicycling lifestyle.
Check out clips from the amazing cargo-bike documentary Less Car More Go to see how many others do it, then please contribute to their kickstarter campaign! I did because I believe seeing in the full-length version of this film what is so possible and joyous will enable myriad others to do the same and more!
My Xtracycle cargobike revolutionized what I could do on a bike.
Finally, I would like to thank all those making everyday cycling more doable and enjoyable for all. This includes everyone who rides a bike, promotes cycling, and hometown heroes such as the folks at Cyclovia Tucson, Living Streets Alliance, Tucson Velo, BICAS, the volunteers on the Bicycle Advisory Committee, and our bicycle/pedestrian coordinator Ann Chanecka.
