Welcome to the Revolutions for Relief blog! This is our approach to keep John Q Public abreast of our journey through the activities and current musings of the R4R crew.
The blog will be a very efficient method for keeping friends and family updated on our whereabouts, and it will help to move my parents an inch or so further back from the edge of their seat, but we’d like to accomplish a little more than that through our persistent prose. We will certainly share the most exciting and humorous stories from our day-to-day adventures but hope to ameliorate those with plenty of our own opinions and color commentary. For anyone in Detroit, I hope we can add a little Mickey Redmond flair (for everyone else, think John Madden with less rambling and more creative international puns)…
Follow along as we share the difficulties of adapting to different customs and hygiene schedules, the detriments and delights of spending six hours a day in a bike saddle, and the narratives of our interactions with amazing people who will impact us along the way. In addition to our on road adventures, we hope to keep you updated on the World Bicycle Relief and the many ways they are improving lives through bicycles.
The posts will be as regular as possible so check back often! You can also subscribe to an RSS feed to get automatic notifications whenever we post something new. Friends have prophesized that we are unpredictable and outlandish enough to generate plenty to write home about, but if there’s something in particular you want to hear let us know. In the end, we hope that our journal, photos, and videos will culminate into an adventurous tale and will provide inspiration for you to help us in our quest to build bicycles for communities in need through the World Bicycle Relief.
N.B. – As Ben has already been cycling for a year and manages his own exciting journal here, the blog will mostly feature entries by me until Bill joins in Europe. That said, Ben has had some wild experiences so far, so don’t be surprised to find him contributing his perspectives pretty regularly in this venue as well!
