My paper presentation for "The Bicycle and the Geography of the United States Roadscape" took home second place and won me 100 bucks at a regional American Association of Geographers conference.
Up against many heavy hitters from the midwest ivies, took them down with a look back at a slice of history few people even remember- when I asked the room - a room full of geographers and professors - who had heard of the Good Roads movement - only ONE PERSON raised their hand!
