I've been working as a bike messenger to get some money for my trip. I like to think of it as riding my bike to Africa- I ride, transform that into money, then transform the money into a flight. I'm getting a better return, though, as I would have to ride for a year to make it to Ghana at the rate I'm going (about 40 miles a day).

It's fun to see the guts of all kinds of buildings, I like being outside all day and on my bike, and me and my friends play a constant game of tag using the loop as our playground.
