Great to hear about your visit to Tumi in Lesotho and then of course to see him on your site. You guys are doing amazing work! I'm not sure if you know about 'Bicycle Portraits' - our project about South African bicycle commuter culture (or the lack thereof) - that we're about to publish as 3 volume set of books. And Tumi will be writing a piece for us for the project! Very cool. Check out www.bicycleportraits.co.za/kickstarter to see what we are working on. We are currently raising funds for the printing through pre-sales. Stan. Hi Mike. Great to hear about your visit to Tumi in Lesotho and then of course to see him on your site.

Lack of transportation most of the kids stay home and are not able to get a better education. We have taken a couple of bikes there on our own but its not okay. We have people there fixing the bikes we take there. I would be highly glad if i get an email back from you guys. My number is 6467328056.

I know I've always gotta put a good 3 hours or so into mine just to get it riding again after the event, and there are still a lot of challenges getting parts over there to repair broken bikes. Certainly something for us to think about though. Cheers. That’s a good idea, Kyle, but post-BRC bikes typically need so much work that it would make things difficult on the Africa side.

Either you've found a verizon tower in the jungle or your back in SF but the pictures are fantastic. They don't even need to be spoiled with text. <br /><br />Dad Wow, you (we) have hit the mother lode.
