This Sunday we head back out to Santa Ana, Ca. to help out the less fortunate with their bicycles. If you have a work stand and know how to fix bicycles, then come and join us! Even if you don’t know how to fix bicycles, you can still join us as Operation Feed The Homeless…

As I’ve mentioned before I moonlight over at BikeCommuters.com as one of their Editors and Staff Writers. One of the pieces I just published over there was about my adventures with Craigslist. Through the years I’ve slowly weened myself off Ebay as a seller. I’ve gotten tired of the shipping and fees involved. So after…

If you’re familiar with our other website, BikeCommuters.com, then you’ll be familiar with some of the community service projects that I’ve been doing.
