Sharing, caring and cycling

At the end of December I wrote this blog offering the use of my touring bike and equipment to someone that wanted to go on an adventure but couldn't.  I was very happy that the message got spread far and wide.  I even had someone apply from America!

The idea for this came as I wanted to bring my bike with me to Australia and New Zealand but I couldn't due to baggage allowance.  This made me pretty upset, and I then thought, well how must people feel if they don't have a bike at all to start with.  So the idea of allowing people to share my bike was born...

My message thankfully reached out to exactly the kind of people that I wanted it to.  Some people wanted to take the bike on long, far adventures, and others on small, more local trips.  I have managed to work it so I can offer my bike to three separate people that are going to take my bike on shorter journeys.  I am very excited by each of the journeys they are taking and the reasons behind them.  I will follow up this blog with another sharing the details of their plans.

If you contacted me about borrowing my bike you should have received an email from me, I have responded to all of the applicants individually, so if you haven't seen a response from me please check your junk mail.

If you have done something similar to this, or are intending to share your assets with others, I would love to hear all about it.  Please share your story with me.  

Keep sharing everyone.  Much love. x
