In March I set out on an acoustic spring concert tour - by bicycle. During my 110 day tour, I will pedal some 3,200 miles, performing at environmental festivals, radio stations, clubs, coffee houses, and other venues in over 26 cities. In many of the locations, I will hold community bike drives for organizations that accept bike donations and release them back into the community at low costs. They also have "earn-a-bike" programs for those who cannot afford a bike. One dollar of each CD sold in every city will go to sustaining their bike program. In the places without such help, I am committed to getting similar programs in motion. I am going to show people how involvement in their own city can bring about physical and environmental change. I am not a professional athlete, but I believe that every person's efforts count. I realize that my position as a musician gives me leverage to reach out to people in an alternative way. I feel my responsibility to act on what makes sense to me intuitively; riding my bike and making music. |
