Chad Haga Giro Journal: Fastest bike-path ride ever (Texas biker<\/a><\/h2>\n

by Chad Haga velonews.competitor.com<\/h3>\n

\nEditor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s note: Giant-Alpecin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Chad Haga will be providing regular updates from the Giro d\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Italia this May.
\nA probably fictional meeting of the Giro d\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Italia organizers, date and location unknown:
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Alright, guys, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re here to determine the perfect start for the next Giro. Last year was in Ireland, but for 2015 I want to start in Italy with a quintessentially Italian Grande Partenza. What have you got?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got an idea, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too crazy. I probably shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even say it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nInterest piqued, the table grew smaller as all leaned in, anticipating the next words to be whispered.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You know how everyone hates when cyclists are racing along the bike path, buzzing pedestrians?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he began.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sure,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d they answered dismissively, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but what does that have to<\/p>\n

Bicycle Priest, Father Rahm returns to El Paso for event<\/a><\/h2>\n

by Maria Cortes Gonzalez El Paso Times<\/h3>\n

It’s been more than 50 years since Jesuit priest Father Haroldo Rahm cruised the streets of Segundo Barrio on his bicycle, stopping to talk to people in the neighborhood or reach out to gang members.
\nRahm, now 95, will return to El Paso next week to a huge welcome.
\nThe stories of Rahm’s influence on people, especially the youngsters, are so vivid today that it seems like he never left.
\n“He had so much charisma. He was humble and genuine ….. and he went around the neighborhood identifying issues. You could say he was one of the first that gave publicity to the substandard housing in South El Paso, the poverty and the health issues \u00e2\u20ac\u201d he addressed all of that,” said Sal Balcorta, who was young when …<\/p>\n
