generation nation

I was lucky to capture this moment from the bike lane, on my way to one of the markets on California while riding the Supermaket Super Sweep.
This is on Polk and Eddy.
And this is priceless.

Well, isn’t it a treat to run into these two fine gentlemen.
We are all in the getting coffee before heading to get more coffee society. And then some.
Love seeing local baristas around town, stopping by various neighborhood coffee spots. This at Sightglass.
Baristas who love bikes, and are so good at making coffee, and know me by name for years as a caffeinated customer of theirs — That, is a beautiful trifecta.

mi favorite blue boys
I have seen Alex riding his bike all over town for ages, most times in the early mornings. 
And John, he’s got the prettiest blue eyes in the Hayes Valley coffeelands =)

“A bike can make all the difference in somebody’s life” -Hans Rey

I had not heard of Wheels4Life before. I enjoyed reading about the goals this group has formed to contribute and fundraise for a great cause, providing an efficient and access to school and multiple othe locations for everyday use indeveloping countries. I thought it was a nice cause for change and benefit of this planet and us as citizens of this world, so thought I’d share it with you all

(From Josh’s email) Founded by mountain bike legend Hans Rey, W4L is hosting an auction selling off 10 dream mountain bikes to raise money, which in turn will go toward buying bikes for developing nations. Wheels4Life is a great charity that provides much needed transportation to closed off pockets of the world, but for more information check out their website at www.wheels4life.org 

A link to this video was also included in his note:

From their page: About Wheels4Life

Wheels4Life is a non-profit organization that provides bikes for people in developing countries who really need them. Often these people live in very primitive and remote areas with no access to public transportation. The closest school, doctor or work-place might be 10 or 20 miles away. In developing countries, children use bicycles to get to school, adults use them to get to work, and health care workers use them to access their patients. Without a bicycle, children can end up uneducated, families can be without enough income to survive, and illnesses are left untreated. Wheels4Life provides the life-altering mobility of a bicycle to make the daily necessities accessible. The gift of a bicycle can work miracles.

So, there are a few auctions left this month that you can participate in, if you are interseted. Not sure how many of you are into Mt. bikes, but these look pretty sweet.

Auctions

Auction 4: 12/6 – 12/12: Focus First XC and Titus El Guapo 
Auction 5: 12/13 – 12/19: Focus Raven and Titus Rockstar 29
Check out more info on the auctions and bicycles here: Bid on a bike. Change a Life»

OK, that is all for now. Now off to riding a bike =)
