By popular demand



I said I would do it and alas I shall. I am posting a pic of my sweet ride, the Bacini of hope, glory, and cheap Chinese manufacturing. Leah took this this morning just before we all left for work, as you can see I am still partaking of and enjoying my morning cup of coffee. In the other picture you can see the fenders I made out of pepsi bottles.(I was mocked by a couple of locals for making these, though they said it was a good idea they thought that it was very funny. Sadly though the Bacini is becoming less wondrous, because well it rains here all the time, and riding in the rain is not bad, but when it is a rainforest downpour, it can be a bit tricky. Mix in with that the lack of pavement here, and then you get grips of mud. And though the Bacini is glorious it doesn't have four wheel drive, though I am looking into hooking up a turbo. And there have also been some recent security/safety issues with me and the bike, whereby I needed to get a ride rather than ride my bike. But under the right circumstances and during the summer, non-rainy season, I think once again the Bacini shall reveal her full glory.

Man look at that handsome feller and that bike. Leah you better hold on to him cuz the moment he turns sideways you might lose him. Dude I love the bike fenders...you should patent that or something or maybe send your idea to the Chinese?
Keep Christ your center and focus everything else will be burned up, make His Name great in that nation. Keep spreading the gospel to the lost.

To Him be the Glory forever. Amen.

aaah, the infamous bike. Our curiosity has been satisfied. What exactly do you mean by security/safety issues? Is it that "hot" of an item that you are in danger of a bikejacking? (Or perhaps you are now considerd rich because you own a bike and they would wongly assume that you have rich American parents willing to pay a ransom.)
Love your smile and positive outlook. Let your lights so shine, be the beacon on the hill.
Love and prayers to all the team.

Ahh, nothing like cheap Chinese manufacturing! Nobody cuts more corners than we do!

Bacini sounds Italian. Are you sure you know where your bike comes from?

Alright, alright! I posted too soon. I googled it and yes, Bacini is a Chinese bike maker. I admit I am wrong. But it sounds Italian...
Anyway, pretty spiffy set of wheels you got there!

Nice wheels! You look so proud. The fenders are very redneck, you've made us proud here in the south!
(Be careful in all that rain though)
