New bike for Cress
Thanks to donations from folks in the community, Dick Cress of Arlington has a new bicycle. His old bike was stolen when he left it unlocked at his health club. After stories in The Herald, folks in the community donated to Stanwood Velo Sports in Arlington and they got Cress, 72, back on the road.
He says he took the bike on a 50-mile ride Thursday to break it in.
