We’ve prepared a brief but engaging multi-media presentation about the journey. It's both educational and inspiring. We're available on a limited basis to share it with school students, civic and service organizations, auxiliary groups and congregations. Our purpose is simply to share the experience. There is no cost. If you think this experience and presentation could be helpful, interesting, and/or inspiring in your setting, please contact John Hay, Jr. We will be honored to adapt it specifically (age, time, group, setting appropriate) to share with your group.Some info about Bicycle India 2007:
