FIX BIKES IN AFRICA The organizers of Tour d'Afrique, an annual expedition ride/race going 7,400 miles from Cairo, Egypt, to Cape Town, South Africa, are searching for a good mechanic to support next year's ride. While preventative bike maintenance and cleaning are up to the individual riders, the mechanic will be responsible for fixing participants' bicycles, from simple tune-ups to more complex repairs. The fleet of bikes involved will represent a wide range of countries of origin--so, according to the job announcement, "compatibility with parts and tools will require improvisation and resourcefulness." The 2010 ride takes place from January 16 through May 15.
