Bicycling superheroes ride across Missouri

It's Turkey Day '08 and I'm thankful I finished this journal...but more importantly, I'm thankful for BICYCLING SUPERHEROES, particularly this group pictured.

I'd been reading my partner's back issues while soaking in the tub and I saw a photo of Rabbi Yikes lifting a bicycle over her head in triumph.

The article described how the 'founder' designed a SH outfit to wear on a bike trip across the country where he offered his help to people along the way. That was 2000. I had to go.

They weren't that easy to find...and I'm a pro internet surfer. That's because there is no web site or email, little publicity, no non-profit status. They believe all their energy should go into the mission...pure effort, doing good. During several days of searching and many deadends, I found a tiny bit of info about these epic do-gooders in silly outfits on bicycles.
