      I was just thinking to suggest the environmental, sustainable living angle.. and low and behold, you guys already shifted the focus of the project in that direction. Brilliant. It's not a question of if our unsustainable infrastructure will collapse, but when.

      This is awesome. I just saw the posting on a photo a day. Best of luck to you two. I'm in Texas. If you need anything while coming through here, I'd be glad to help. Actually, I'd quit my job in a second to come along. Enjoy it!

      Thanks amigos. We have talked about mounting a pepper plant on the back of the bikes to add some spice to our meals. No goal is too lofty!
