KU LIFE
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Couple bicycles its way across country
Berkeley grad might attend KU art school
By Ezra Wolfe
Kansan staff writer
Most prospective KU students usually fly or drive to visit a university before they decide whether to enroll. Manny Lopez rode his bike to visit KU—from Phoenix.
Lopez took off from Phoenix with his fiancee, Heidi Ward, about one month ago.
Both graduated last year from the University of California at Berkeley and wanted to see the country. They plan to end their ride in Maine in about two months.
Lopez studied painting and sculpture at Berkeley and had heard KU had a good graduate art program, so he decided to visit Lawrence while he was traveling, he said. He also plans to visit the art department at KU.
As an art student, Lopez also had
an place he wanted to visit.
"We're going to go to New York City," he said "For an art student, it's like a Muslim going to Mecca."
The trip has provided few mechanical difficulties for the two, but a
blown tire outside of St. Marys forced them to hitchhike to Topeka, where they spent the night in a fire department.
The couple had been camping out each night, but two nights ago they slept in a recycled shed.
Although they said the weather had been perfect until they reached Kansas, Lopez said the state was one of the most beautiful places they had seen.
"Kansas is beautiful to us because we came from Arizona," he said. "This is the first real different scenery we've seen."
Ward said the two weren't real serious riders, but it would be hard to tell from looking at them.
While visiting the library to check out the architecture, both were covered in bright colorful hi-tech rain slickers. Stickers from the many places they had visited were pasted on their weighted-down mountain bikes.
Fully loaded, each bike weighed about 75 rounds, said Ward.
The loaded bikes were OK because they were taking their time, said Lopez. Besides, he said, the heavy bikes are kind of fun and give a sense of security.
"When trucks pass us, it's so furious," he said. "So if we had no weight we'd be thrown off. And it gives us some legitimacy."
