“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share an Iowa nice story about looking out for one of our own. Joseph Stewart, a resident of Bettendorf in Scott County, relied on his bicycle for years to make his 3-mile roundtrip commute to work every single day, but after his bicycle broke, the time of his daily commute doubled. For over a month after losing his only means of transportation, Joe would walk in between the highway and the railroad tracks to make it to work, not missing a single day of work. This is when Quad Cities Bicycle Club member Kathy Storm noticed Joe walking with a big smile on his face despite his circumstances. The Quad City Bicycle Club is known for their generosity, with members donating bikes to share their love of cycling with other members of the community. After getting to talking, Kathy learned Joe's situation and later showed up to his place of employment with a big surprise--a new bike that was donated by the club. It is stories like these that make us smile and inspire others to help their own neighbors. And this is just one small example of why Iowa is the best place to live, work, play, and raise a family.
