On this edition of StudioTulsa, we learn about the Oklahoma Bike Summit 2017, which will happen later this week (the 19th and 20th) in Muskogee and Tahlequah -- and which will, per its website, focus "on attaining physical and mental well-being through bicycling. It will address bicycling for individuals with disabilities, as spiritual and emotional healing process, and to improve the health of a whole community." Our guest is Jayme Brown, who will give an address entitled "Ride to Recovery: Cycling as Rehabilitation" at this summit. Brown is an active cyclist as well as the Central Region Manager for Project Hero, a nationwide non-profit founded in 2008 and dedicated to helping veterans and first responders affected by PTSD, TBI, and other injuries. Also on today's program, we offer a commentary from Mark Darrah: "The Navy Blazer."
