Being 65 means I get to do what I want.
What I want to do is take a leisurely trek around America to see the sights I've never seen.
So I have made my plans and have put out the first monies toward purchase of an electric hub motor kit for the tricycle I will then buy. My plan involves also building a little covered wagon to sleep in that I can tow behind and which, by using thin film photovoltaic material applied to the cover, can also be a charging station for my batteries. I'll post pictures of my build project and further details as I go.
I was asked by my first sponsor, Morgan Giddings (or was it her sister Elise?) of Cycle9, (Carrboro, North Carolina) if I were taking the trek just for fun or was I going to promote some cause. (Their website is www.cycle9.com.)
That got me to thinking and after casting about for a short while, I found a website dedicated to promoting the principles of chivalry and I decided this would be the cause I would promote. Chivalry Now (whose web address is chivalrynow.net) is about encouraging our society to practice chivalry, now in this day and age and especially in our own lives.
