Pedalr: Bikes to Rwanda

Our homeboy Billy over at Pedalr, sent this along. He has teamed up with Bikes to Rwanda and for the month May will
be donating all site profits from Pedalr to BTR. Strong Work. A lot of independent cycling companies,
sell through Pedalr, so you shouldn't have hard time finding something you like.

Support your supporters!

Details:
"Pedalr is proud to announce our collaboration with Bikes to Rwanda. The goal of Bikes to Rwanda (BTR) is to provide specially designed cargo bikes to farmers working on coffee cooperatives in Rwanda. Through bicycle distribution, workshop construction and training, BTR aims to improve the communities and lives of Rwandans through coffee farming. These specialty bicycles provide sustainable transportation for basic needs, and help greatly in the labor-intensive production of world-class coffee.

To show our support, Pedalr will be donating all site profits for the month of May (bike month) directly to BTR. Any purchase made on the Bikes To Rwanda pedalr page is a tax deductible donation, which happens to be a sweet deal. In addition, BTR is raffling off a Globe bike, with all the proceeds directly supporting their cause!

Any purchase over $40 on Pedalr in May automatically enters you in the raffle. You can also purchase raffle tickets all by themselves. Play often, the winner of said bike will be announced the last day of May. Feel good knowing you are doing good. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. We at Pedalr are happy to roll out the red carpet and welcome Bikes To Rwanda to our slice of the web.!"


So please head over to Pedalr and spend some of your dough!

I Love My Bike Book: Now Shipping!

Rad! Mine comes Friday! I'll update with photo's next week! Until then order from Chronicle Books Here!

Here's a little write on the book from Chronicle:

"I Love my Bike

Cycling is about joy. Sure, it takes willpower, strength, and grit, but at its core, being on a bike is all about rejoicing in the greatest transportational invention in history. I Love My Bike is a photographic celebration of the grand kinship of bicycles, a bond shared by millions of people around the world. This distinctive and affordable coffee table book for cyclists collects the best of the stories, photographs, and bicycles encountered by the authors during numerous cross-country photo-journaling trips. Readers will meet longtime messengers and hardcore roadies, casual commuters and weekend day-trippers, tattoo artists and skateboarders, bike builders and first-time owners—all of them in love with their two-wheeled contraptions. With gorgeous full-color photos on every spread, I Love My Bike delivers the trifecta of awesome for any cyclist: cool people, cool photos, and really, really cool bikes.

Authors:
Matt Finkle is a photographer and cycling enthusiast. He lives and rides in Boston, Massachusetts.

Brittain Sullivan is a creative writer and bicycle collector. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts."

Tracko, and Prolly Visit LOW

I had the pleasure of riding Chas's Low frame around for a minute this past weekend in SF. I feel in love.
Beaver and I wanted to go see the shop, but I screwed around and ran out of time. Tracko and Prolly,
both made seperate trips to the builder. Check out theirs posts. LOW is making quality frames in SF!
I'm heading up in two weeks and will be making my visit to LOW, where I will be putting in my order for one.
Yes, they are that dope.
