I had not met Betsy Lawrence in person until this morning.

But I have liked her for years.

The community college English teacher often weighs in on topics related to bicycle riding. I admire her ability to stay positive.

Here was her answer to a Slice question I posed in December of 2011.

"I think most people in Spokane are fine about alternative transportation. There are some crabby, noisy, jerks who live to comment negatively (and usually anonymously) who give the impression that our town is full of poops, which I refuse to believe."
