And rode her again this morning to work.
She is named after Larry Fahringer, my 4th grade teacher. Dude rode a bike all the time, including to work during all kinds of crazy Pennsylvania weather. In 4th grade all we could say was, "why would you ride a bike when you are allowed to drive a car?," but he was definitely the guy who planted a seed about not needing to use a car for everything. He also told lots of stories from his Army days during class, so in hindsight this guy seems to have had quite the impression on a young jt. My dad always called him Indy Fahringer after Indiana Jones and we talked about Indy long after he was gone. The first "adventure-y" guy I ever came across. And this bike for some reason reminded me of him, hence the name.
