fifty-one; Planet, Schwinn Varsity 10-speed


“Too much dessert can make you sick.” And apparently Austin, Texas was a cakewalk.
Eight years ago he gave up everything but his van, drove to the heart of abandon (Telegraph St. in Berkeley) and fed on frugality.
He learned to live without the big luxuries (like a job) and the little ones (like his ego).
“I try to let go of things, and I have to trust that they will come comeback when I need them.”
They did.
He has an apartment now, and he runs a bike repair service with no advertising relying on the “boomerang of karma.”
