"I've been a bicycling fan(atic) since my first yellow Schwinn three-speed," Cunnnigham said. "I commute to work by bike when I can (and when the weather permits), and this has been a good impetus to get back into some longer distance cycling."
Reason for riding: Cunningham rides for her dad, who died of cancer.
