Dedication to bike commuting is one thing, but this is a truly inspirational act of bicycle power. Ben Masters,who just made his first bike at the Studio, has announced his Year By Bicycle bid. For 365 days, he’ll pare down all transportation to his bicycle alone. No cars, no buses, no planes, no boats, no rocket ships… you get the picture.
Can he pull it off? What sacrifices and payoffs will ensue? It’ll certainly be dramatic, and Ben has created a blog to share it all with the bicycling public, http://www.yearbybicycle.blogspot.com/. Check it out, get inspired, drive less and bike more. Ben kicked things off by biking back to his home in Meadville, PA, from our Brooklyn Studio. We couldn’t be more impressed, and wish Ben the best of luck in completing his Year By Bicycle challenge.
Bamboo bike complete, Year By Bicyle challenge up next!
