tabber.gifHe Gets Around


Click To Play
Our hero Kipchoge gets freaked out about global warming. But because of his pathological tendency to only want to do something that seems like it will have the greatest impact possible, he looks into how different activities influence global warming in different ways. He stumbles upon a treasure, "The Consumer's Guide to Effective Environmental Choices." The book puts it all in perspective and makes it clear what he needs to do. But can he? With a little help from his friend Eco, we find out. With music by Eco, too.

Yay for tall bikes! Even yayer for tall bikes with extracycle attachments! Yay for whole families on one human powered vehicle! And definitely yay for not being afraid to bike in the winter!

I LOVE this guy and the tall bike is dear to me. Eco is the girl by the way. The dog is Moses. I was riding on the back with my son Sam in one of the shots, about 350lbs of passengers! Laughter

as a fellow bicycle lifestylist, it's hard to express how much an xtracycle can change your life. let's transcend activism and become actionists:

action #1: sell car (but, y'know, borrow your friend's when really, really need it)
action #2: get an xtracycle free radical conversion kit
action #3: feel the flavor of the freedom

ride on!

I've loved this guy since I saw him do spoken word at an anti war march in San Francisco. If you haven't heard Kipchoge do "how much" you are missing one of the best enviro - spoken word pieces ever written. I know he has a cd with this piece on it cuz I picked it up at a show he did after GreenFest. It is also printed in it's entirety in ripples sustainability journal (vol. 9).

Hey, Kipchoge & Eco!

Keep on rockin' the tall Xtrabike. Gonna Stoke it?
Snow in Cali? Oh, Yeah, global warming don't mean everywhere gets warm!

Love, Aaron.
