IV. CCAI CAP Mural: Lucky Riding [permanent and open 24/7!]
In the alley north of [map]
Erik Burke
From the August 2006 press release: "Local Carson City bicyclist Glenn Lucky is the inspiration for Mr. Burke's mural, not only because the artist is an avid cyclist, but also because of Mr. Lucky’s admirable determination and community engagement. Mr. Lucky has cerebral palsy, but he doesn’t let that stop him. He has ridden about 40 miles a day through heat, cold, rain and snow since he was 15 years old. What initially started as therapy to loosen his muscles has turned into his passion."
Note that earlier this summer, a crew made up of board and staff gave the alley home to the mural a sprucing up. Click here for a team picture.
