   For Mike, there is less of a defining moment.
   
   Having been a triathlete, training on the country roads of northern Florida, and suffering the abuse of angry drivers, bicycling was always a part of his life. During this time, he didn't think of commuting by bicycle as a form of activism. It was later, during his first planning internship when he had a friend who was a bike and pedestrian coordinator, that he saw it as a way to make a living.
   
   It is apparent that bicycling and using other non-car forms of transportation are important to Tammy and Mike.
