Team Tallbike is BACK! Ride For Refuge 2018 Charity Bike Ride.

Team Tallbike is at it again! Ride For Refuge 2018! 7 years of AWESOME, this team is strong! Just a small team of a group of friends riding for a cause that we believe in. Partnering once again with Ratanak International, we are moved by a desire to see healing, restoration and freedom in the lives of Cambodians trapped in exploitation, trafficking, poverty and vulnerability. Join us on September 29 as we ride our bikes for this great cause.

Please donate to the team, donate to the kids as they have shorter legs than we do, or simply show us your support by giving us High Fives! (that is... if you can reach us on our Tallbikes!)

Hey Vancouver Cyclists... Just Chill the Heck Out!

I have been meaning to make a post like this for the last few years now but someone else has made a similar post and to be honest, I don't think I could have written a better one. 

Grant Lawrence, of Vancouver Is Awesome commmunity online publication, has written about his experiences with Vancouver cyclists and how some are ruining it for everyone else.

Several recent incidents along the bike route have flattened my enthusiasm for commuter cycling.

One was a helmet-less hipster on a leftover fixie (remember them?) who was racing westward down Adanac full speed between Commercial and Clark. An elderly woman was crossing Adanac.

“GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU F******’ RETARD!”

This is exactly what a young man on a bike yelled at a senior citizen trying to cross the street in Vancouver. The cyclist didn’t slow down. The pedestrian was startled and froze in her tracks. 

We have come a long way as cyclists in a major North American city and we all need to be grateful of what we now have access to.  To those that are ruining it for everyone else,  Just Chill the Heck Out!!
