Name: Cathy Haagen-Smit
Age: 53
Location: Newcastle, in Northern CA
When not riding a bike, or advocating for bicycle access: I love to laugh with nice friends, read, cook, hike (sometimes at a running pace) and I just started a little yoga.
Velomuse: Who is your role model in cycling?
CHS: You know the phrase, “it takes a village…” That pretty much wraps up how I was inspired and am continually inspired to ride my bicycle. I joined the local bike club and gleaned pointers from the whole variety of members, young & old, fit & fat, serious & funny.
