About Me

I will be riding the challenging 1891 Eagle HiWheel across the USA in 2012. On it in the summer '09,I HiWheeled across the western US to Salt Lake City to promote the nonprofit National Bicycle Greenway. Having lost the 2010 season because a car turned in front of me, destroying my bike, I am riding the Eagle in Ireland now where I am busy learning about the Greenway successes they are enjoying (my meeting with the Irish president/Taoiseach) here.
Contact me if you'd like to join Irish cyclists in supporting my next ride from San Jose/San Francisco to NY/Boston as a gear carrying Sherpa as we call for a Greenway on both sides of the Atlantic.

In between rain drops and the needed training I have to do on the Eagle, we have been able to get more of the beautiful sign art that MrLetter.com has been producing for us on to the bus. And indeed it is becoming a notable sight to behold which by the time we leave will becomes so major spectacular you will be proud to say you are a part. And there is no reason why U can't be.
