Aug 2016: A Bicycle Built for Two Billion

A Bicycle Built for Two Billion by Jamie Bianchini

Non-Fiction suggested by Toni

After living too grandly and plunging to rock bottom, the author decided to ride a tandem bike solo around the world and invite people that he met along the way to ride part of the journey with him. Video clip mentions various issues and how those he met along the way helped him (when his bike and money were stolen, when he got sick, when he didn’t have food or a place to stay) and how he gave back — helped provide a clean water source to one community, helped one man build a school, donated bikes to kids in Cape Town, etc.
