Join the Revolution, Ride your Bike!

If you haven't ridden your bike lately, hurry and get out there before winter comes! Even though I complain about a sore ass from sitting on my bike seat too long, I really can't say enough about biking as a way of getting around. You see more, you smell more, you get exercise, and you feel good.
Neil, a fellow Cross-Canada cyclist from Vancouver, and Bruce, who served as my Halifax welcoming committee, know what I'm talking about.



I would also like to pay some respect to my own bike with this small ode. Thank you bike(I never did come up with a nickname for it), for getting me all the way here. Your smooth shifting and large carrying capacity have served me well as we've travelled this big ass country. Here's to a good last leg of the journey, after which, I promise I will wash you. Thanks again, Blaine.

Hi Blaine,
So you think you need a name for your bike ?? Well, this may seem a little boring, but the bike has taken you across the country, never left your side and packed everything you own on it, so how about "Ole' Faithful ? " Just a thought :) By the way, I love your pictures, they are great. Take care, Leona M

Hey Blaine,
OMG!!! You are doing so awesome and your stories are just amazing. It is fabulous to hear all of your ups and downs as I am certain that is what you were hoping for....the all around experience. Best of luck on the rest of the journey
Thinking of you...from Raelene & Guy!

Yah Blaine! I guess we didn't manage to see on the side of the road through the prairies back in July. How big are your thighs?
Love Catherine Hansen and family
