Why Hans Rey Is The Greatest Of All Time…Maybe

hansreybook Who is the greatest mountain biker of all time? Tomac? Lopes? Peaty? Vouilloz? Overend? Chausson? While all of these candidates have the qualifications and qualities to take the position, I believe considering only these nominees demonstrates a narrow assumption of what constitutes “great”. My nomination for the greatest mountain biker ever is Hans Rey. More at BikeMag.com

Wheels 4 Life Gala 2013 Laguna Beach

Wheels4Life-LogoFriday October 27th 2013 saw something new and special for Wheels 4 Life. We hosted 230 people at our very first Gala event and although it wasn’t strictly speaking “Black Tie” everyone dressed up to the nines adding superbly to the glamour of the night.

Riding out of Poverty – from Kenya to Eden

Image 25It was time again to head back to East Africa to follow up on some of the Wheels 4 Life work we have been doing there in the past years. Our charity has evolved and grown a lot, we now have an infrastructure in place with a team of field volunteers that enables us to run this non-profit organization pure, efficient and effective. Our mission was to meet many of our project leaders from Kenya and Uganda in the field,  as well as a lot of our previous bike recipients to monitor first hand the impact the bicycles have had on their lives and give a whole lot more away at the same time, 270 bikes to be precise. We also wanted to learn, about the countries, the people, their needs and character. We are often asked the questions; “Can we make a difference, are we making a difference?” The answer is yes; most definitely we can and are.
