Robert Bailey
REVERSE GEAR is always willing to help where we can.
In 2010, we told you the story of Reverend Johannes Myors the hands-on evangelist who was riding across America. In April of this year, Rev. Hans tells the story on his Pedal Prayers site of how he met Robert Bailey at an event in Louisiana during his travels.
Rev Hans called us to tell us that Robert knew the artist Vergie Banks and had been admiring our Jazzed about Triking jersey for some time.
We are proud to now be a sponsor to the very courageous Robert Bailey in his cycling journeys. Robert sent us this photo today with a comment that the Jazzed jersey “stops traffic”. While we are pleased to hear that it is being noticed, we think it is the rider that may be, and certainly should be, getting the attention. In this video, Robert Bailey talks about his perseverance after an accident that took both his legs in 2006.
We admire Robert for his efforts and want him to stay safe, and comfortable, while on the road.
For more inspiration, watch these words of advice from Robert as he prepared to ride the 450 mile RAGBRAI ride in 2011.
Robert we wish you safe travels wherever you are and look forward to hearing more about your cycling journeys. Keep on “stopping traffic”. You are an inspiration to all of us to keep on riding!
