To look at powerhouse trial lawyer Steve Susman in his dark suit and sharp tie, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to imagine him in spandex shorts and lulumon jersey peddling his way from Houston to Austin. But the nationally-acclaimed plaintiffs attorney has done just that so many times in the Texas MS 150 and raised so much money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society that he was honored as Person on the Move at the nonprofit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s annual luncheon at River Oaks Country Club.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

After the last month and more of too much work and especially of driving a car, I finally managed a day off. Fortunately, on Sunday nights there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a group bike ride called Bike Curious, about which I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve previously written.
