... but Hank and aLex continue to roll together through the streets of Chicago. Both are fine, and happy "out there, signaling turns, having ethical dilemmas over red lights, and trying to keep that Irish temper in check".
You won't find them on the internet anymore. But you can wave to them if you see them ride by.


So relieved to hear they are doing good. Terribly miss the blog - it was so inspirational. Hi [wave] hank and aLex.
And, thank you for passing this along.

I'm so very sad that the blog is gone. Like Maria said, it was very inspirational. I wish aLex and her beautiful Hank well. Stay safe out there!

sorry they're no longer on the internet, but glad that means they have more time to be on the road where they belong! aLex helped me a lot via hankandme when I was deciding on what bike to get this summer, so I'm glad she was there when I needed her, and I think of her when I merrily ride my Oma in Portland. happy trails to both!

Another here who misses reading about the adventures of Alex and Hank. Glad to know they are well and still riding.
Alex's blog helped inspire me toward a car-light life here in CA. My 11yo and I are going on our first tandem ride today after picking our bike up in OR this week. It's going to (mostly) replace our family sedan.

glad to hear they are okay. I miss the blog and occasional wise rants. Its too bad hank couldn't help out with the writing. Keep safe Alex!

I am glad to hear aLex is okay, but sad to see she's stopped blogging. I loved reading about their exploit, and was looking forward to hearing more about their bakfiets.

OK, I am irrationally sad to see that aLex and Hank are no long cruising through the blogophere. I miss the daily-ish updates.
