fifty-two; Mikael, Steel Road bike with big baskets


He didn’t like school, wasn’t into Washington.
He did like bikes, he liked coffee and he liked friends.
How can he make this work?
(First try)
Move to Panama with friends and grow coffee.
It was worth a shot.
Hopped a plane and went all in.Way more pricy than practical.
Scratch that.
Move to Berkeley, make friends, roast free-trade coffee from contacts made in Panama and deliver it…by bike.
Make business cards, make good with neighbors (“who doesn’t like free coffee?”), and make sales.
Made it happen.
Celebrate! Friday night burlesque show in Oakland, paper-bag IPA and a bike ride.
