Ex-Kansas Citian plays key role in Houston's mountain bike community

According to an article in the Houston Chronicle, former Kansas Citian Christina Case has played a crucial role in Houston's mountain bike community. The only available mountain biking trails within the city limits had been closed because of environmental concerns.

Case also relied on her own expertise as an engineer specializing in environmental-impact issues to bring unique insight to the table.
