Save a bike - ride a triathlete

Andrew,

PM'd you with a thought. Great job.

Irondad,

Your kids will never forget this and, I'm sure, it will be returned in kind many times over in their lives. Keep up the good parenting work and setting a good example.

Robert, I am sorry to hear about the stolen bikes.

I just sent you a message to your gmail address regarding my contribution.

I phoned Sergio Jr. and he was shocked to know what happened to that very special bike. We both remember how specially built it was. He thinks it is a very good idea to help Kiersten replace that stolen bike. He has been away from town the last two days, training with the State team at the velodrome, but asked me to say hello from him and wish her the best.

I am sure that Kiersten will be riding very motivated and faster than ever in a few more days. :)

Best wishes to all the family.

Sergio

I like kids who sport and are motivated.

I hate those damn bike thieves. Just sent in a bit to help the cause. Kiersten, once you get that new bike stay on the cranks, you've got a lot of support behind you!

I'm in.

Thanks Harm - we are inching closer to our goal of $2K - which we hope will get Kiersten back on the road in time for her race!!

Was the donation button thing set up? I'd like to help out but don't have paypal. I'd be willing to do it via credit card though. A large number of people seem to have no trouble with paypal but my bank keeps telling me (when I ask their advice on it) that I'd be crazy to link my bank account to any online service that will have direct access to the account like that. Am I/my bank being overly paranoid?

I never hook up my bank account to my PayPal account. I only use it a couple of times a year. Therefore, I set up a credit card on it, make the payment and then immediately remove the credit card. I'm sure this isn't foolproof, but it works for me.

I just sent money too as this is just a bad situation. I have met the Irondad clan last year when they visited Chattanooga and Robert, Kiersten and Kees are a very cool family and their passion for cycling and all other things related is awesome.

I figured though that the bike is the least Irondad has too worry about since Kiersten seems to have set her mind on a MINI Cooper S like mine. :-)

Herbert

My check is in the mail.

I hope she rides it like she stole it ;-)

For anyone looking to make a donation by check, please PM me and I'll forward you an address you can mail a check directly to Robert and Kiersten at.

I am on the road today so please excuse any delay in response.

thanks again.

Andrew

Up! Just in case anybody missed this...

What size and model was kiersten's frame? I'm formerly a Cdale engineer and still have contacts in Bedford/Bethel. Depending on the size, there may be a demo bike/frame that Cannondale NEEDS to sell. I also might be able to score an industry price. Give me the details and I'll see what I can do. Send me a message offline at: [url "mailto:pcsandre@gmail.com"]pcsandre@gmail.com[/url]. At the very least I'll be donating!
