Ok Folks - a thread has already started on this topic - please see the link below, but in a nut shell - a disabled gentleman on a cycling adventure had his bicycle stolen while he was eating (it is a specially modified bike for his needs) and when he went to investigate - he was knocked to the ground and robbed by some heartless woman, of all his cash and belongings

Bottom line - he is now in need and we are reaching out to Slowtwitchers to pull together and help

We have contacted the gentleman - and he has provided us the details of a local bike shop (for him) that has a bike that will work based around his special needs.

We are planning on hitting up the manufacturer of the bike along with the bike store - to get a huge price reduction - and then kick in some from a collective gathering of good souls here at Slowtwitch

We are also looking to purchase a giftcard for him from Walmart - which he could use to replace the clothing and camping items lost.

Can you spare a few dollars?

If so - please contribute - every little bit helps

This guy may not be a competitive cyclist or a triathlete even, however his bike is the ONLY way he can get around due to his disability.

A paypal account is being used to collect donations - andrewjjoyce@sbcglobal.net
