Yes I Am Precious is a Livestrong campaign that bicyclist Janeen McCrae came up with to raise money to fight shitty cancer. The journey begins on the Atlantic side of this great country and three months later, she and her bike Precious, should arrive on the Pacific end. It is the 15th day of the ride as of this blog post, a rest day in Berea, Kentucky, the folk arts and crafts capital of Kentucky for those not in the know. :]
As the video below will show you, this isn’t just your regular ride, it makes raising money for a great cause a whole lot more cool and interesting. You can check out how many roadkills were seen along the way, how many time Janeen has been honked at, how many dogs have chased her on her long journey across America with Precious who is tweeting along the way what he is “feeling”.
Check out what they’ve done to Precious to gauge speed, incline, decline, temperature, etc, etc…
…and yes you can follow them on Twitter, Precious or Janeen, or go to Janeen’s blog about her ride, No Direction Known, and don’t forget Team Fatty, check out their About Page, good stuff.
Last but not least here is the donation page for this awesome ride.
I love biking and cool people.

Yay! Love you too…in the blog sense, ya know? Can’t claim “cool” but definitely love biking. Great pics, always rad to get everyday perspective of a chica in the city. ~Heather

:] Thanks.
Biking is awesome! I need to take some photos around the city while on bike…see what happens. I just got back from the spending everyday on/in the ocean in North Carolina, so I am a bit behind on editing and posting my photographs. This next section will be more like the city chica hits the sea. I said it. :]
Anyway, it’s nice to know when someone likes what I do here. You’re cool.
