A quick bike ride... to Tennessee!
/Steve Park is one of our weekly shop volunteers. We’re always impressed at how far he rides his bike, and how unpretentious he is about it.
Two weeks ago he set off on a bike he put together at B4H… headed for Tennessee! Along his journey, he is spreading awareness about the #savesoil movement. Here’s a word from Steve :)

I got inspired to start a bike tour from Sadhguru who rode his motorcycle across America. I've been longing to go to Sadhguru's yoga center but also wanted to travel and explore instead of taking a flight and missing out on the ground beneath the plane. I am thankful that Bikes for Humanity was also able to fulfill this desire of mine to cycle from Portland to Sadhguru's yoga center in Mcminville, Tennessee.
The people at Bikes for Humanity were amazing at getting me the best bang for the buck. Aleida helped me choose a used Cannondale bike to work on which only cost me 80 dollars. Dan was also a huge help to build the bike. He helped me find all the right parts and fix up the bike. Dan sacrificed his time to working on the front derailleur when it wasn't working smoothly.
Sincerely,
Steve
