Sunday afternoon as the sun descended, James Mathews was laboring for a cause. Days earlier during a conversation with a close friend, Jerry Lewis, Mathews spilled the story of how he purchased two bicycles after his marriage and never rode them. Lewis, who is a distance runner, joked about the idea of bike riding with his friend. 

“His wife was telling him a couple of years ago to get rid of those old bikes, but he said, ‘No,’ he is going to bring them out and use them again,” Lewis laughed. “I told him we were going to get out and ride down to St. Marks when he got them ready.” Staying true to his word, Mathews polished off the old dust, oiled the rusty chains and got the bikes fitted for new tires. And he started riding.
