Biked 21 miles today, through stunning fall colors and sunlight reflecting in the creeks and rivers. Hope you will get out and enjoy the colors. If you would like to match my miles with a donation to The Ocean Cleanup, visit my link to ongoing fundraiser, here: $1,725. is the current amount we have raised for removing 90% of the world's ocean plastics. Quick link to today's video with some pretty fall foliage!

I handed out bike lights this Halloween, with a scan code to the best bike lights and DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) for cycling on the market. I recommend lights for your kids bikes, helmets and locks at all times. As someone who has had bikes, lights and gear stolen many times, I learned the hard way to protect my gear. Please, even if you live in a "safe" community, teach your kids to lock their bikes and remove lights and put them in their backpack during the day while at school or shops. It's not fun to have things stolen, and your safety can be jeopardized. Personally, I am waiting to see COOL and FUN bike lights for kids that are SOLAR, rechargeable and come in fun colors, but are less expensive that most pro-cycling gear. Safety should never have to cost so much! If you hear of anything new on the market, please drop a comment below.
If you are in the market for some holiday art, I still have paintings at Trips for Kids in the SF Bay Area that can be shipped anywhere. Find them all online at https://cproppe.com/shop
Thank you!
