Chickasaw citizen Steve Paniagua is the president of the Chickasaw Cycling Club, an organization of riders that welcomes cyclists of all skill levels and backgrounds. Paniagua, a retired schoolteacher, says that finding out he was diabetic didn't stop him from pursuing his passion: "Sometimes I say to myself, 'There are millions and millions riding right now, and they're not pulling over. So, Steve, you've got to keep going.'" His biggest competitor, he says, is himself.
