Ride For The Borders Ride For Youth

Hi, my name is Waymond Smith. I’ve been a member of the biking community in Chicago for a number of years, ranging in activities from teaching bicycle mechanics and bicycle safety for youth in North Lawndale of Chicago, volunteering for a biking organization in Pilsen that ships bicycles to countries in Africa, Central and South America and I’m active in promoting bicycling advocacy in the Chicago area.

I’m seeking funding to perform a fund-raising ride along the Pacific Coastline from the Canadian/US border (Vancouver, BC Canada) to the US/Mexican border (Tijuana, Mexico) in order to raise funds for bicycle organizations that provide or assist youth based bicycle programs in Chicago.
