About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep cycle touring.

ABOUT ME

My life has become cycling. I live for the bike now. Specifically cycle touring! I finished the cross country ride in summer 2012 and am looking to keep touring! I unfortunately live with a grumpy roommate who doesn't let me host, (maybe in a real pinch I can sneak people in), but I can definitely show people around town. Manifesto Bikes near my house has 25 dollar bike rentals, which would be a blast to rent bikes and ride around Oakland!
