On June 11, 2022 I presented the Buffalo Soldier Bicycle to the Dream Team in Ankeny, Iowa, in honor of the 125th Anniversary of the 25th Infantry's historic ride from Fort Missoula, Montana to St. Louis, Missouri. (The Buffalo Soldier Bicycle and a brief history of the 25th's rides to Yellowstone and St. Louis may be found among American Bicycles on this site).
Later in the day I displayed the bike for "Black Girls Do Bike" in Des Moines and their legacy ride on the High Trestle Trail.
My brother David Dahlquist, the artist who designed The High Trestle Trail Bridge, an iconic Iowa landmark celebrated by cyclists, stands beside me.
