Golden Rollers: “Did you have a bike while growing up?

 

Alice Chang: “No, no, I don’t know how to ride… I tried, but I was so afraid, I never… “

 

GR: “Why did you move to Austin?”

 

AC: “My son went to UT-Austin. And we like Austin because they have lots of things we can do.  A lot of activities, events, or whatever. I love it.”
