95. Linda Leary Taylor talks about the walkway with Kyle and Anne-Marie as the three of them near the end of their journey over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, CA - on the first anniversary of the passing of BMX legend Harry Leary - her brother. 

Harry’s sister mentions that someone doesn’t need to have passed to get a brick on the memorial walkway. It can be just someone’s name or a business name. There is also a section for Veterans - identifiable by the medallions in the middle. 

Ok… Linda admits that “The Leary” wasn’t what they got but there is only one person who has really said anything. Who?

We invite you to listen to our conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary, with his sister Linda Leary Taylor and Kyle A. Huffman while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
