You might remember that we are sponsoring this guy JT who is going on a bike tour around the country to reduce bullying and violence in our schools. To get JT ready we had him come to some of our Mechanic Classes before he took off because JT didn’t really know too much about bikes.
He was a good sport and came to a few classes to get caught up before he left. We weren’t really sure what to expect and I’m sure JT felt the same way. On May, 13th…off he went.
I went to check in on JT over at his facebook page to see how he is doing. He made it all the way to Chicago and I found a great picture of him and Jack at his rally the day before he left:
I also found a great photo that shows that JT really has found the spirit of bike touring. When you get tired. You find a place to lay down. No matter where it is:
So he is out there making it happen! We are pretty proud of him. You can track him on his facebook page or at his website.
Alright, I gotta go hang out with some high schoolers in River Rouge. Hopefully I’ll have time to tell you about that later (as well as a video recap of the progressive dinner ride from this past Sunday)!
see ya on the road
