With 12 days remaining before the Philadelphia Cycling Classic, former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and former first lady Lisa Nutter are cheering on the return of a race they say is an important part of the city's cycling culture.
The couple recently spoke about their involvement in bringing the event back and about their own connection to the sport, which extends beyond advocacy and into competition.
While Lisa Nutter is known as a supporter of cycling, she is also a competitive athlete who competes in indoor track cycling races.
Michael Nutter noted her accomplishments on the track: "Four-time national champion in track cycling. Two different age groups."
"For me, the competition is in the velodrome," Lisa Nutter said, explaining the lightning-fast sport. "I'm a sprinter so our races are seconds long."
