Houston bicyclist willing to ride in circles for his cause - Houston Chronicle

One man. One track. And 500 miles in 24 hours on a single-speed bicycle that has no brakes.
While thousands prepare for the two-day MS 150 ride from Houston to Austin, Walter Dawes, a local bike mechanic, is readying himself for something more daunting and solitary.
He plans to ride as many as 2,417 laps around an oval concrete bicycle racing track with high, steep embankments and no shade. He'll push himself to the limit to raise money to fight histiocytosis.
