It IS easy being green (and it’s fun)

Jeff Wilkens, of Wenatchee, garnered my attention by riding his bike down the street Thursday afternoon-in his work attire. Wilkens rides his converted Bianchi mountain bike to and from work for a round-trip total of four miles about three times a week. As one of my favorite poets, Kermit The Frog, always said, “It isn’t easy being green,” but Wilkens says it’s actually easier here than most places because you can ride your bike almost eight months of the year without having to battle really inclement weather; and, he says, “I do it because it’s fun”.
