“So, we had no choice but to keep going.”

Kim Mason, telling a reporter about being denied entry to overcapacity emergency shelters as she escaped New Orleans by bicycle after its destruction by Hurriane Katrina. Buying 2 bikes on the street for $160, she and a friend left the convention center, walked through thigh-high water at times, and ended up riding all the way to Baton Rouge, 80 miles away.
