A group of 10 pastors are riding their bikes across the State of New Mexico to promote and raise money for Bike For The Light, according to a story in the Daily Times.
The pious pedallers, hailing from different churches across the state, are departing from the Colorado-New Mexico border about 20 miles north of Aztec. . . Most of the riders are mildly experienced in cycling, some more than others. . . “A lot of us have ridden 100 miles a day … but a lot of us haven’t ridden 100 miles consecutively for several days,” Dickenson said.

One upside is an incredibly high bottom bracket height. Wonder if they’ll ever make a mountain bike version? To see this in action follow the jump for video evidence.
Apparently, Bill Becker (the inventor of Elev8 Bikes) hasn’t seen an adjustable seat post before. If he had he’d probably realize there is no reason for his overly complicated suspension cruiser bike designs. Then again, why do research when you’ve got an invention in mind. It’s the American way.
Apparently, Pacifico paid for this little reminder of how great summer riding in Downieville, California really can be. Kind of makes us wish there was more summer left.
