Bikes do it all

I've been lucky enough to race for over a decade at the highest level cycling has to offer. Riding a bike has been a job, but the bike has been so much for me; a toy, a tool, a bridge, a window. A place to find a smile on a hard day. The bike has always been there for me. 

As much as I'd like everyone to experience the joys of a casual ride or the thrill of a steep mountain descent, I know that what I've experienced on a bike is just a small window into what a bike can do. Bikes provided by World Bicycle Relief to rural communities can provide so much more than even I can grasp. 

It seems almost comical to think that something as basic and elemental as a bike can have such profound impacts on education, healthcare, economic development and & equality but the impacts are well documented and The Power Of Bicycles to change lives is truly undeniable. 

I believe in the Power of Bicycles and their ability to change the world. Please consider supporting my personal fundraising efforts to help mobilize individuals & communities in rural developing countries. Just $165 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.

Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate to help individuals challenged by distance. 

Thank you for your support!
