Recurring images of the fighting in Lebanon bring the Middle East crisis squarely home to us. While war and the anguish it produces affects the whole of humanity wherever it happens, there are also rays of light all around us, if we only choose to look.
What is remarkable about the conflict in the Middle East is the number of cyclists
it has inspired to do their bit for peace! Unlike the platitudes about world peace that are routinely mouthed by beauty pageant contestants, these men and women show grit, determination, and a burning desire for the common good.
Find out about such heartwarming attempts as that by two Iranian young men, the courageous journey through the Golan Heights by American women, and what the Jewish community is doing to inspire its own young and old cyclists.
Wonder if the inventors of the bicycle knew how often their vehicle was going to be used to make a statement for peace?
