I guess the catch is that they want you to raise $4000 for their non-profit organization. But in my experience that isn’t much different from scheduling an expenses-paid bike trip through a travel agent. <BR/><BR/>The non-profit also seems legit. It is for the Breast Cancer Network of Strength who also puts on the Walk to Empower on Mother’s day. I found out about the ride at http://ride.y-me.org. <BR/><BR/>Has anyone done this ride before, or does anyone have any information on this event?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-25040264298388995402008-06-09T10:28:00.000-07:002008-06-09T10:28:00.000-07:00I like your site.

Are you sure you know the religion of every commuter?<BR/><BR/>The only problem I as a bicycle commuter have with 10.00 a gallon gas is the economic effect it will have on those in the lower class. The rising cost of fuel will also raise the cost of cheaper foods, clothing, and household necessities.<BR/><BR/>Still, it is nice riding past all the disgruntled motorists killing their paychecks so they can drive to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36250316.post-90362930389927501712008-06-08T16:14:00.000-07:002008-06-08T16:14:00.000-07:00$10?
