From a Washington Post story by Stephanie Merry headlined “For Jennifer Weiner, biking and writing work in tandem”:

Not many people can churn out novels like Jennifer Weiner does. Since 2001’s “Good in Bed,” she has delivered a new book almost annually, many of them bestsellers. But it turns out there’s something else she does well and quickly: biking.

That much is clear on a recent Saturday in D.C. The humidity is hovering around 88 percent, but Weiner, 53, cycles along at a steady clip on her Trek touring bike, telling me about her 15- and 20-year-old daughters and her L.A.-based siblings, chatting so easily, she could be curled up in an armchair.
