Mayor's Ride San Francisco to Boston 2009

I had the pleasure of meeting Martin Krieg back in May when he stopped in Sacramento on his "Guinness Book World Records" ride across America on a "Pennyfarthing" Eagle Bicycle. He'll visit 25 U.S. mayors over the 4017 mile journey to promote a national bicycle greenway.

You ask, "Pennyfarthing" Eagle Bicycle? Well, he's pedaling backwards!! The first one to cross the US since 1891. First to go West to East! First to Pedal the whole way!!! WOW!

The amazing people at Grape Craft Wines are donating the proceeds of the sales of their Pennyfarthing Wine T'shirts to support Martin's historic ride. Get your own and join the cause.
