A bicycle build for 2 Billion, spreading smiles around the world visits Harrisonburg!

Last Thursday evening Jamie Bianchini came to the shop with his family to share the story of his tandem bike journey around the globe.  Jamie spent almost a decade of his life traveling to 80 countries around the world with his custom made bicycle, specially designed to be converted from a tandem to a single bicycle to help him on his mission.  He rode rode through cities and remote villages around the world offering people rides and depending on the kindness of strangers to keep him moving along the way.  Jamie was fueled by the power of love and human connection, and made it his goal to spread love and smiles to everyone he met.  A Bicycle Built for Two Billion was written as a memoir of his journey.  Jamie uses the proceeds from his book to fuel other acts of kindness for people around the world! We were excited to host Jamie and his family at SBC and had a great evening of photos, food, video, and discussion. Big thanks to everyone who showed up and keep your ears open for similar events that we could host in the future.


PULP carried on at a work bench during the event!
