UPDATE

Anyone who sponsors more than $1000+ can have their logo on my jersey!

$1,000+ the logo will either be on the front, back, or pockets and the logo will be about a business card size.

$2,500+ pledge you will also get your logo put on my jersey either the shoulders and side panels about double the size of the business card.

$5,000+ you get to choose the main nice visible areas of the chest or back, or you can choose to have your logo on my frame pack (which is very visible). The continent you’re sponsoring will be listed too!

Welcome!

Fixie World Tour is about me traveling on a fixed gear bicycle named Phoenix over 30,000 miles, 6 continents, and taking under 2 years to film this odyssey. During this once-in-a-lifetime trip I will be filming this journey that is bound to be adventurous, dramatic, historical, rare, and inspiring (yes, I am the film crew, no fancy crew following behind). While pedaling over thousands of miles I am very excited to capture photos of different bicycles from around the world, and people as they ride their bicycles in the course of everyday life.

The goal of this project is to produce:

1. A Fixie World Tour self documentary

2. The photo book: People of the World and Their Beloved Bicycles.

I feel that riding keeps me in touch with reality and keeps me ambitious. After having already toured 3 times on my fixed geared bicycle, I feel confident that this Fixie World Tour project is the next step. With this project I hope to inspire others, and feel that this is the best time to use my health and youth while I have it.

**I plan to have the pedals start turning in the beginning of March 2013.**

I know I cannot do this alone and that's where you can help make this Fixie World Tour a reality.

Which raises the question how will I use the Kickstarter funds?

-Kickstarter/Amazon takes a small fee

-Must pay taxes on the Kickstarter funds raised

-About half of the funds will be used for supporting the journey: visas, flights, ferries, food, very cheap lodging. Bicycle maintenance: building new wheels w/new hubs, and a special dynamo hub (which helps me recharge my electronics while on the road), changing out the chain, chain ring, cog, tires, tubes, etc. Technical equipment: SD cards, camera, tracker device, phone, etc. Outdoor gear: water filter, rain gear, etc.

-Other half of funds will be used for productions costs: DVD's, photo books, editing, bicycle jerseys, water bottles, cowbells, etc.

What happens if the pledge amount is not reached?

Kickstarter is a all-or-nothing! So even if the project makes it to $29,999.99 I still don't receive the funds it MUST reach or go above $30,000. This is why pledging is so important. Remember, even a dollar can make a difference! So, please pledge today. Thank you. Let's make this project a reality!
