Raising Funds For Dancing Rabbit. Please Pledge.

Posted Mar 26 2010 7:32pm

This post is my contribution to sustainablog’s Pedal-a-Watt Powered Blogathon this weekend.

The long-running green blog (and new green shopping site) is publishing for 24 hours straight to raise funds for the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Northeastern Missouri.

Go join the fun: read post contributions from around the green blogosphere, leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for some great green prizes, and join in the Tweetchat at #susbppb .

When I heard about the pedal-a-watt blogathon the post below seemed like a perfect fit for the event.

My son’s bike has a reputation.

He’s very serious about this bike as his method for getting place to place.  Gotta love his commitment to it.  Come rain, snow, subzero temps you will see him – on his bike.  If he has places to go – his bike is what gets him there.

When I lived in the area he’d ride 26 miles round trip for dinner, with laundry on his back!

He picked up this rusted to heck green ten speed Schwinn, for $60 at Working Bikes Co-op .

Someone had converted it to an 8 speed.  Already that’s a tad odd.

He switched it out to fa ixed gear,  added an aerospoke so that he’d never have to true a wheel again. Well at least that wheel !!

Recently the bike got a new seat.

The thing is a mutt.
