[ETC-Discussion] Loaning Tandems

[Bob Snead]

Greetings,

 

A while back Aaron stoked for me while Nancy was out of town.  He's a great
guy and the C Different Foundation does great work.  We loaned him our
Cannondale for a race and got it back in exactly the same condition it left
in.  We've sold that bike, so I can't help him again this time around.  Can
you?  Got a second tandem you can part with for a little while, for a good
cause?  If so then email him directly.

 

Thanks.

 

Bob

Hey Bob, its been so long since we have spoken.  Things are coming along
with the C Different Foundation chapter out here in Seattle.  Also, alot of
other issues have arisen in the sport of triathlon for blind/VI individuals
one of which is creating massive media and that needs to be addressed right
away.  I have pasted what is going on with the blind/VI individuals and how
C Different is trying to support blind athletes.  We have 32 blind athletes
going out to NYC for the Nyc Tri on July 18th and we are looking anywhere we
can find for tandems for those that don't have their own.  I was wondering
if there was any possible way if you would be interested in loaning out one
of your tandems to another blind athlete.  First read the below situation
that is going on and then let me know if there is any possible way.  Tri
Bike Transport , a company that drives bikes to races will be picking up
tandems from the bike shops and driving them to the race and back so they
will be very safe.  Also, we have 4 blind/VI athletes racing from the
Seattle area.  i hope you are doing well.  Let me know if you can help or if
you have any others that could help.
