Donate a bike

and make a difference for someone. You coukd give someone a real future by giving them a set of wheels. We have already raised enough funds for 10 bikes. Why not help out to make it 11? Donating is easy. Just go to the link below and do it. Thomas' Fundraising Page - WBR ps-if you have any trouble connecting from a mobile phone or tablet, try connecting from a laptop or desktop.

Team TAF

Team TAF is a Chicago-based adventure team. The team consists of two elite members who happen to share the same initials (and DNA). We enjoy riding bikes, swimming and messing up the living room!

T minus 5 days

Our ride is set to begin this weekend. Thomas and I will be riding from Milwaukee to Chicago by bicycle and trailer. Two guys making a journey to support World Bicycle Relief. It's going to take us two days, and when all is said and done we will have traveled close to 100 miles. No one said this is going to be easy, but I am sure it will be quite a fun adventure. Stay tuned, I will be adding some pictures of our gear next.
