Friday Photo - Bicycle Towing a Rhino

It seems like you can transport just about anything by bicycle. In 2017, Matt Meyer from South Africa, towed a fiberglass replica of a rhino down the west coast of the United States. His goal was to rsie a quarter of a million dollars to aid rhino conservation through three non-profit organizations:

• Care for Wild Africa
• Save the Rhino Trust
• Ol Pejata Conservancy

 His plan  was to ride nearly 2,000 miles from the Canadian border down to San Diego. He started on April 17, and reached San Diego on June 18. Matt's trip was sponsored by Piper & Heath Travel and Wilderness Safaris, so all of the donated funds went to the non-profits. Next time you are biking up a difficult hill, keep in mind that Matt Meyer did his trip while towing a 300 pound rhino.
