Today we ran into this amazing guy on the road. He had an entire shed full of junked bikes - over 100 in all. Dozens and dozens of road bikes, mountain bikes, cruisers, specialty bikes, and even a giant tricycle. His name was Chester, and he collected parts of old bikes so that he could build new bikes for kids around town. Truly a friend of cyclists, but that's not the best Chester had to offer . . .
When Chester read the sign on our car that said "pedaling for pennies," he said that he would gladly donate some pennies. He then left for a few minutes and returned with a 10 lb. bag full off pennies. "Anything I can do to help. I love it when people come to visit," Chester said.
So with Chester's donation, I want to officially issue the "Chester Challenge" to everyone reading this. Go get all of your spare change, and donate it to us for childhood cancer research. If we have to we'll replace the chase car with a Brinks truck, but it's up to all of you - take Chester's lead and go round up all of your pennies!
