I said goodbye to an old friend today. My Huffy "Echo Canyon" bicycle that I bought at Toys R Us more than twenty years ago. It was the bicycle I rode during my first triathlon in September of 2006. I assume it will go to a good home and improve someone's life. A guy at my church talked to me and said he was collecting bicycle to send to Africa. I hardly every ride it anymore, but somehow I still have a soft spot for my old Huffy. It should get much use in its new home. Au revoir.
UPDATE:
At Iron Pol's blog, I found out about an organization that is doing something very similar called World Bicycle Relief. It is worth checking out.
