Pedal For Peace; The Book, The Mission.

Thirty years ago, I set out on a bicycle with a bold vision —some said quixotic— to spark peace, through personal connection. My project, Pedal For Peace, wasn’t about solving the world’s conflicts— it was about planting seeds through small acts, like carrying postcards from one stranger to another, creating pen pals across the countries I traveled through. I rode thousands of miles, spoke to school kids and civic groups, and shared stories of hope on radio and TV. Then, in Florence, Italy, a semi-truck accident stopped my wheels, leaving hundreds of postcards undelivered. Those cards have stayed with me, a symbol of a mission I’m determined to complete.

Now, at the 30-year anniversary, I’m shifting gears; from riding to writing Pedal For Peace, a memoir about that journey, the lessons of faith and resilience, and why peace matters more than ever. More than a book— it’s a call to action, to revive the postcard project and do something good, in the real world. You can support the Pedal For Peace project by becoming a pen-pal and connecting with people in other countries, by donating, and by sharing this message!

Thank you
