We all chuckled and walked away but Ryan called us this spring and said he was going to ride the 3-speed 3,000 miles &#8211; from San Diego to Washington DC &#8211; to raise money for Community Cycles in Boulder.<br \/>\nWho are we to get in the way of a young man following his folly?<br \/>\nSo, this is Ryan&#8217;s coast-to-coast adventure. He&#8217;ll be blogging, tweeting and uploading videos along the way. He wants you to come out and ride with him so check back often to see when he&#8217;ll be pedaling through your town &#8211; he needs your support and a place to wash his sox.<br \/>\nAs Ryan says, &quot;If I can ride a 3-speed across the country, everyone can be riding their bikes more to work and to the store.&quot;<br \/>\nRide on, Duzer. We totally agree.
