Rory Macleod, you are a man of extraordinary magnitude. Throwing a dream job at Apple to the wind when it limited your true dream to explore the depths of human gratitude and connection, you mounted your bike and rebuilt yourself. You rode the circumference of the USA, literally fed by the kindness of strangers. There's now a year & a half of Europe under your belt and you're not about to stop. France is under your wheels now and in 2 months, you will continue your journey through southern Africa. The #PowerOfBicycles fills your sails. Your contagious positivity puts #BuffaloBicycles in the hands of students, health care workers and entrepreneurs in the same rural communities you will explore at the speed of pedal & chain. I commend your spirit; I hail your courage. You rode through Montreux, sharing your story as you have a thousand times, and we are forever touched. Our futures will cross again, I am certain. May your path be forever lined with loving souls with open hearts and minds. And may we all realize that the only difference between Rory and us is that most of us haven't yet taken the leap of faith he has. And by faith, I mean faith in our fellow humans, everywhere. Peeps - Rory is fundraising for #WorldBicycleRelief along his many, many miles. Already he has generated over $30,000 of his goal of $35,000 before heading to Africa!!
