A Little Clarification

We are riding to help support Friends of the Lafitte Corridor (http://www.folc-nola.org) to create a bikeway through New Orleans neighborhoods ravaged by Katrina’s floodwaters. It states this very clearly on our home page, and it does not say anywhere that we are “environmentalists riding for environmentalism.� Unfortunately, Dennis Wagner of the Arizona Republic cared more about getting a rise out of the readers than accurate journalism.

New Orleans is still working to restore their city and needs nationwide support and encouragement. This public bikeway will help build community and restore hope. It will play an important role in assuring that kids can walk to school safely and that people can get around without cars. Please check out their website and see how you can help out.

The San Francisco Chronicle article, wrongly states that we created the “Extracycle�(the paper didn’t even spell it correctly). We have proudly pedaled the bicycle frame extensions more accurately known as Xtracycles, (http://www.xtracycle.com) that we bought from the company out of a small bike community in North San Juan, CA. The article was written without speaking to us, and all the quotes were pulled directly from our blog.

Xtracycles (http://www.xtracycle.com) have changed the way that people ride their bikes. THEY DO IT MORE with a long bike. A revolutionary design that allows you to use your bike for just about whatever you would use a car for. More biking + less driving = happier people.

    Leave it to the AZ Rep to botch an article, those idiots are all about “shock” media and selling advertisements. Keep riding your ride and I’ll keep following the posts, an excellent way to ride vicariously through you guys!

    Wish we would have crossed paths at the Old Pueblo but thanks for helping Todd and his crew set up the event; let us (the readers) know if we can help you guys!
