as my yin will attest, my affection for this Stick Boy borders on fanaticism, and somehow i managed to convince her to let us not only get scones and coffee, but also a loaf of Celtic Sea Salt Bread for the road.
but this is beside the point.
the point is that while my yin was in the bathroom, i butted into a conversation between one of the Stick Boy owners and a madman riding this bicycle:
i asked him, "are you the Bald Guy?"
"yes, i am."
conversation followed, and the Bald Guy told me about his trips to Kigali, his efforts to raise money for Rwandan coffee growers, and how he plans to ride the above contraption from Atlanta to Boone to further this endeavor.
it takes five hours to get from Atlanta to Boone – by car.
anyway, my yin soon joined us and the four of us talked for a bit. the conversation came to a close when the Bald Guy hopped on his crazy custom coffee delivery bike to go make a collection. this is one of the things i love about Boone – anonymous people throwing art into the void, doing whatever they can to make the world a better place.
