Thanks to the hard work and dedication of my friendly neighborhood crackheads, Robocop is currently an amputee:

But I’ll have a new rear wheel soon and can resume riding, and still have more than a month to prep for the ride.
Huge thanks to those who have donated already, I’ve raised $110 just from donations this afternoon/evening. If you haven’t donated yet, please do so here:
On a related note, my friend Omar is training to run a marathon in Chicago to raise money for the fight against Leukemia, Lymphoma, and other blood cancers. It’s also a great cause, and you can donate here.


Hi Jim!
What a great cause, and a really cool ride as far as I can tell (you can wave to my yiddish grandma as you speed through Kew Gardens) . I just wish you didn’t look so grim on your bike, it makes me worry you’ll look up Vino’s doctor before too long…
love and best of luck!
