Help Jeremy Bike

Here's complete honesty. I dont want this bike. I want to put on my shoes, go out the door and run the trail. Well, thats not an option for me and i'm not going to dwell on it. I'm going to do the best with what i have and how i "run" the trail is with this bike.

I had a bike and it changed my life...seeing things, going places i never would have without it. It got me off the pavement. My plan was to sell it so i could upgrade to a new version, but then life happened. I had to buy a new wheelchair, which took most of the money and had to use the rest for life and hospital bills and such.

So here i am without a bike. Having tasted the freedom it gives me, it's hard to imagine my life without it. 


What will this bike enabe me to do?
1. Be me. its in my DNA to get out on the trail, beach, mountain by myself
2. Sweat. I'll be able to get a cardiovascular workout off the pavement, out on the trail.
3. This new bike has a power assist so i'll be able to keep up with my friends!
4. Explore places i've never been
5. Ride in the sand and snow. I'll be able to run fat tires with the new version!
6. Run with my new dog (when i get him/her)

What are my plans with the bike?
-My usual is Los Peñasquitos Canyon in San Diego. I grew up exploring this canyon as a kid and it carries a pretty strong nostalgia for me. Its nice to get a cardiovascular workout, out of the gym, off the pavement. I like to sweat!
-Ride the bike park. Its no secret that i'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and i love riding the Mammoth bike park with friends. Its such a freeing feeling!
-Long multi-day bike packing. Here's where things get serious. I like to challenge my soul and with this cash i plan to also round up all the gear i need to bike into the backcountry solo and carry everything i need with me. Now THAT's exciting!

I will use this thing for my own sanity and to inspire others. Please be a part of this!

Here's what the new bike looks like:
