I am Jim Bangs. I moved to Estes Park in 1978 to work at Hidden Valley. Here I met my wife Debbie, and raised our family David, Kyle, Matthew and Evelyn. You may have seen me at Estes Park Lumber where I’ve been working since 1985. I have been commuting to work on a bicycle daily for the last eight years.
I like to commute on my bike because it starts the day with some energy to bring to my work. The commute home settles the day and frees my mind to focus on other things besides work. There is the health benefit and the economic benefit that I do not have to buy much fuel or as much maintenance on my vehicle. Cycling is a lifestyle choice for me that I get so many benefits from! I am Estes Park. I ride bikes.
