While Gilad Shalit is no doubt still suffering, and will for a long time, from his time in captivity, it is nice to see the occasional news tidbit that shows Shalit integrating back into normal society and a normal life. He was recently in the United States and even attended the NBA All Star game.

Today it was announced that Gilad Shalit will be heading the annual bike race called "Pedaling For Peace 2012" organized by the Akko municipality in May. Last year peddling for Peace cycled to raise awareness for the release of Gilad Shalit, so this year, after he was actually released, they invited him to lead the ride.

And, perhaps, if Shlomo Benizri feels his captivity was worse than Shalit's, perhaps he needs to go through a similar rehab and system of integration.. Get Benizri a bike!
