Real Geeks Ride

» By popular demand, and in support of Real Geeks Ride and their upcoming journey, this entry lives!  I originally created this entry that read “Ignore. To be deleted soon.” to test a feedburner function.  All it took was one eBay-ish comment to remind me that I’ve been wanting to write this for a while :

Carlos Urreta and Joe Philipson – two self-proclaimed geeks from Hawaii – are setting on a 3,000+ mile journey across the U.S. to convince 1,000 geeks to ride their bikes to work instead of driving.  Impressive!

Help cheer them on by:

• Riding your bike to work and letting them know that you’ve changed your lifestyle! (I’m working on it too… hush.)
• Host them for a night or two along their journey between May 20 and August 3, somewhere in America.
• Cheer them on along the way or meet up with them in Portland, Oregon on August 3 for a community ride to Seaside.

I wish I could recall where I first heard of these guys… perhaps it was a re-tweet or twitscoop find.  Regardless, I’m personally hoping they’ll blog, gps and log their journey by photos as they go!   Good luck!
