Last year I made a goal around the end of May to ride 1,000 miles by my birthday. The idea was that I would give myself permission to buy a nice road bike if I accomplished that. I blasted through my goal, but I never bought the bike because, well, journalism isn’t really a high-paying profession, so I haven’t scraped up enough money yet. Anyway, I’ve decided to put a set amount of money into a savings account for every mile I ride this year. I haven’t decided how much yet, but my goal is to ride at least 3,000 miles. If anyone wants to pledge money to the cause, I’d be more than happy to set up a PayPal account for it. o^-^o You can check on my miles here (starting from nothing again, sob!).
2010 miles

You should put on your own Bike-A-thon for money.
Oooh Ooh, I’ll sponser you, a penny every mile. Hey, don’t laugh, if enough of us did a penny every mile you’d have the bike in no time! 3,000 freaking miles?! DANG! I usually so a mile to 3 miles a day during the winter and die. Of coarse I’ve got a 5 year old riding on back and a 3 year old on the front and it’s a beach cruiser, haha!
