DUZER ACROSS AMERICA on a 3 speed beach cruiser, what???? NUTS right?

There’s a GREAT video on his website explaining his mission!

Last year when we gave Ryan Van Duzer a 3-speed commuter bike to thank him for years of support around the Tour de Fat – he jokingly said he’d ride it across the country. We all chuckled and walked away but Ryan called us this spring and said he was going to ride the 3-speed 3,000 miles – from San Diego to Washington DC – to raise money for Community Cycles in Boulder.

Who are we to get in the way of a young man following his folly?

So, this is Ryan’s coast-to-coast adventure. He’ll be blogging, tweeting and uploading videos along the way. He wants you to come out and ride with him so check back often to see when he’ll be pedaling through your town – he needs your support and a place to wash his sox.

As Ryan says, “If I can ride a 3-speed across the country, everyone can be riding their bikes more to work and to the store.”

Ride on, Duzer. We totally agree. We’ll see you in DC late summer.
