Lives Defined: John Moss

John Moss started cycling only about 8 years ago. Like many active people, he was looking for something that was good exercise, but easier on his bad knee than running, his previous preferred workout.

John talked about some of his cycling adventures in this article from the Pulse-Journal, the local newspaper in his Cincinnati-area home town. Among the 73-year-old's most recent trips werea ride all the way across the southern US.

John is the father of former Century Cycles co-owner Lois Moss. He remains a good friend of Century Cycles, and he regularly finds his way up to this part of the state (sometimes by bike) to visit family and friends, and have us tune his bike up for his next adventure.

Here's John outside his home with his cross-country touring bicycle, which has over 35,000 miles on it.

Here's John at the Arizona-New Mexico border, during a cross-country trip last year on the Adventure Cycling Association's Southern Tier Route, from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL.
