Why do you like being a LUNA Chick:
I've only been a Chick for a few months, but I signed on because I love riding with other women and want to help get more women into the sport. I think it's harder for women to get into cycling and harder for us to find other women to ride with.  I love riding with my husband and my guy friends, but riding with other women is a whole different experience.

How did you get into cycling:
I was an avid downhill skier and runner and I though mountain biking would be like doing both at the same time. Then I met a cute guy with a mountain bike on a street in Cambridge and he offered to take me mountain bike shopping. So I bought a mountain bike and I liked it as much as I thought I would. I also really liked the guy I met on the street, and we've been cycling together ever since.
