about

If I had to tell you in one word what BikeCrave is, I’d probably pick this: Living.

To ride a bike is to be alive, to see the world in new ways, to feel exhiliration as well as challenges, and even disappointments. For these reasons (and some I can’t describe), I get on my bike, find a great road and give thanks.

As part of BikeCrave, I ask that you consider donating a ”Penny per mile” for each mile that you or I log to the charity of your choosing in the privacy of your life. It’s a small favor I’d like you to consider. I don’t collect money for me through BikeCrave. The small sponsor banners in the right column represent companies and organizations that have my personal support. I ask that you support them as well, and I invite your company to join BikeCrave in doing just a little bit more good. It’s not that hard. Really. But you have to crave it.

I hope you find something useful, fun, and maybe even inspirational on BikeCrave. My biggest wish is that you’ll help me build a unique place where we can all learn from each other, come what may. Pennies add up. So can people, ideas, words and pictures. I’m eager to hear from you. Let’s ride. And enjoy.

La vita e’ bella. Life is beautiful.
