Paul Kviecinskas Rides Perth to Melbourne!

Our latest supporter and winner of the ‘Hero of  The Year’ award is Paul Kviecinskas. He’ll be riding from Perth to Melbourne later this year and helping us raise funds for the next container of bikes. ‘Perth to Melbourne’ I hear you say… no, it’s not an extended typo or geographical ignorance - it is around 4,500 km from Indian Ocean to Port Phillip Bay covering the legendary Nullaboor on the way.

But wait there’s more. As 4,500 km is such a small effort Paul will be doing it hard core on a single speed. Yes, really. Here’s a bit more about the amazing Paul in his own words.

Paulius Kviecinskas, 30 years old, living in Spotswood Melbourne.  Ecologist, currently working for Melbourne Water.  Have worked in many bike shops in the past as sales and as head mechanic.  Became aware of B4H whilst working in a bike shop and having customers ask me about any charities that will take their old bikes.  I have always been into the outdoors, cycling, mountainbiking, rockclimbing, mountaineering, hiking, adventure races etc.  Have done several long distance bike rides but never this long plus a single speed.  Chose to do the single speed due to reliability and ease of maintenance and for the extra challenge.  I thought doing something on a bike would be fitting to raise funds for B4H.

From its beginnings BicyclesFor Humanity, Melbourne has been supported by wonderful and passionate people like Paul who get what we’re doing and do astounding things because of it.  He deserves all our support - you can get behind him and his amazing effort at http://www.everydayhero.com.au/paulius_kviecinskas

The Voyagers
