Ride bike, save money, invest money. That’s the plan. Nothing huge. Just micro-savings, micro invested. What a trip. New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Truck based, yes, but with the bicycle sprinkled in strategically.

I realize the bike isn’t for everyone, but it could be for a lot more people than it is currently. Right now winter descends on a good portion of the country where things like fuel oil will begin to burn. Extraction. Fossil fuels. We still need them in a big way but perhaps it’s time to seriously make a plan for life without. Or, we just implode and hope to be in the ground hit by the first ICBM strike. (Yeehaaaaww.)

But this concept of microfinance has me thinking. Sure, it’s not going to change the major metrics but you would be surprised how quickly things can pile up and how quickly small amounts can bring change.
