Red Bike Moment Hairpins

When his brand-new red Schwinn bicycle was stolen, a tearful and angry young Clay told a police officer he wanted to "whup" the thief. That police officer, Joe E. Martin, also happened to train amateur boxers at the local Columbia Gym. Martin told Clay he should learn to fight before confronting anyone, and subsequently introduced him to the sport. That stolen bike set Ali on the path to becoming an Olympic gold medalist and a global icon. Think about your “Red Bike Moment” (or moments!) when a challenge you faced produced a transformational event in your life.
