Athar Khan ("Columbia Bike Guy") on HoCo360

If you live in Howard County, take a few minutes to enjoy HoCo360's post about Athar Khan -- the "Columbia Bike Guy."

This kind of creation is journalism, and it's difficult.  It takes skill with a camera and words.  It also takes time -- hours to create and (I'd argue) years of living to understand the full story.  If you want to write about a place, this should be your goal.  A stream of opinions makes us bloggers; telling someone else's stories makes us useful.

    We love Athar! He's always on 108 and 29. He really does brighten my day, every time I see him. His positivity and humor are inspiring!

    This tears at my heart. I will certainly say "hello" or wave next time I see him. What an inspiration he is.
