[RBW] Re: Donated bike; intrepid recipient; request for equipment donations
This dude has been walking 17 miles a day to go to work! Think of the time and energy this will save him. Even at a brisk 3 mph pace (I think that's pretty brisk) that's nearly 6 hours a day, then work for 8 hours. No time left. Now, even if he's slow, he rides for 1-1 1/2 hrs total. Now he can have a life. He's certainly earned it. Tip o' the cap to you, Patrick! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
