Cyclist-sailor chutes the breeze on backroads

CYCLING — He caught my attention Sunday and I stopped on a backroad to photograph the test drive of his home-made tricycle with a sail.

The breeze was right and he was getting a good ride, contently rolling along the flat gravel road without pedaling.

He said his name was Ron from Airway Heights and that he built the contraption himself.

Then he was gone with the wind.
