We spent some time visiting with a new sponsor of our ride and the man who used to build bikes for third world victims of\u00a0\u00a0land mine explosions.\u00a0Rod Miner\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0Lightfoot Cycles<\/a>, one of this nation’s greatest bike builders, thanks to the Internet has been able to keep the purity of his purpose\u00a0\u00a0alive. From a tiny\u00a0Montana town of 1500 people Rod has been able to flourish in satisfying his goal of supplying\u00a0 people all over America and the world with\u00a0 transportation that is reliable, highly efficient and highly capable.<\/p>\n
