My Sweet 16 Bicycle

Isn’t she a beauty. My parents gave me this bike on my sixteenth birthday. It was by far, the best bike I had ever owned. I realized immediately that I would have to enter some races and go on some long distance rides. It would be a shame not to. It is a Schwinn Superior with Campy parts – 12 speeds – super light – I love it. I declared then that I would never get rid of this bike. It would be a family heirloom.

This past summer a friend gave my old bike a new purpose. I needed a good commuter bike so we put on new pedals, handle bars and a seat. I have been riding an old 3 speed to work – from Arlington to the Back Bay. On the old bike, it would take me 1.25 hours to get to work. This past Friday I made it to work in 45 minutes. So 23 years after receiving this bike, I’m back on it and loving life.

Quality = Longevity

Why We Blog

When it seems like everyone has a blog now, why should D2E? We want to share our exploration into sustainable living. With the help of our Advisory Board, we are making changes in our personal lives and in how we do business.


We started D2E because we wanted to know the impact of the choices we were making and how to align our dollars with our values. In producing D2E, we understand that the event itself will have an effect on the environment, so we're making careful decisions to reduce our impact. Follow our blog to see what we're learning along the way...
