 Hi, Geoffrey B--

     I came in to visit you all at Bike Pirates this winter when I
was home for an appointment.

     Next time I'm home, I'll come and see you guys. It would be
great if we could create more portable shops and improve our
designs. Thanks for wanting to help get bikes and bike shops to
First Nations communities.

     Are any Toronto people you know planning to go to bike!bike!?

                                        Sasha
