Seen Biking...

Seen Biking (photo) Two visiting Texas bicyclists, Jim Wilson and Kyle Carr, check directions in China, Maine. Wilson, of the LMRA Bicycle Club in North Texas, takes a bike trip each summer while visiting his father in Albion. In recent years, Wilson has brought other Texans with him to experience the joys of biking Down East.
