Day 5

Reached both my goals today: ✅ arrived in LA ✅ $3300 raised for 20 bikes Thank you all for your support 🙏🏼

Day 4

Arrived in Santa Barbara one day earlier than planned to dodge Thursday’s rain. Enjoying a rest day before one more long ride into LA!

Day 3

Exploring rural California. Long day in the saddle from very cold King City to Pismo Beach.

Day 2

Another sunny day on the bike. From Santa Cruz via Monterey and Carmel Valley to King City.

Day 1

Off to a great start! Sunny and strong tail wind all the way to Santa Cruz.

Half way our goal!

Thank you all for your support! I am amazed to have already raised the $1650 that will provide 10 bikes to those who can use them most. And I did not even start my trip yet...

I am looking forward to start biking south this Sunday. Stay tuned for updates on this page, and on strava/bluesky.

Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives.

World Bicycle Relief provides bicycles to rural communities around the world to help them gain access to healthcare, education, and jobs. 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 in rural developing countries. Just $165 (€147) helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.

My goal: 20 bikes! All contributions, however big or small, are greatly appreciated! Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate.

Thank you for your support!
