I'm Biking Backwards coast to coast August 17th 2007. I'm going to be Raising Awareness for the Homeless, HIV/AIDS and Medical Marijuana.

While crossing America you will be able to track me as I cross the country at www.bikingbackwards.net

I've had the HIV virus for a little over a year now. I'm currently homeless and living with the HIV virus.

Heading to San Francisco, California from Venice Beach, California August 17th at 12noon at Rose and Ocean Front Walk. United States Senate and Congress the Backwards Biker is on his way. I will be discussing issues on the Homeless, HIV/AIDS and a Federal Medical Marijuana Law. The American public has supported and sponsored me to speak on these very issues.

Come Back and visit for more updates.

    Good Morning America... and GrindTv.com... I will be heading out of Yuma, Colorado today... I will be on Highway 34 heading for Denver, Colorado... Also, My prayers are with those who lost their homes to Tornado's across America... Psalms 100;3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalms 90;12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalms 90;17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish thou the works of our hands upon us; yea, the works of our hands establish it. Psalms 37;18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright; and their inheritance shall be forever. Psalms 34;12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good. Psalms 27;14 Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. God Bless America...

    Hey there Curan,
    I passed you out on HWY 34 yesterday near some huge stock yards, but pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I was on my drive back to Denver/Golden after doing some work (I fix medical equipment) up at the Holyoke and Wray hospitals and now realy wish I would have stopped to chat with you. Later down the road as I was still scratching my head about what I saw I called one of my friends and had him google bicycle backwards and now know the story. Anyhow, I would like to say I very much admire what you are doing and of course why you are doing. Which brings me to an offer for a place to crash once you are into Denver. I have a house on the far west side of town in Golden which is right at the start of the foothills. Very relaxed household full of motorcycle and bicycle nuts and of course a handfull of dogs. One of my roomates works as a clinical case manager downtown mostly with homeless people and I worked for 8 years as a counselor at a residential setting for troubled youth. I'm sure we would all have a ton of notes to share/compare... Feel free to call or email me if you do not already have accomodations or if it will be possible to cross paths with you while you roll through. Joel 303-919-0776 race2win1@hotmail.com

    Hey curan, just wanted to post a note and let you know how much you've changed my life!!!I know it's hard to do what your doing and I'm positive I wouldn't have had the courage to do so. However, you reminded me how to really live, and what matters in Life!!I can assure you I appreciate life and the things that do matter, after meeting you! I have seen first hand how hard it is for you out there by yourself--not everyone gets to see the difficulties that you face out on the road like I have--You have touched the hearts of my friends, kids, and me. I know today wasn't such a good day- but stay strong because what your doing has made a difference in peoples lives. Don't give up!!! with much love, Sherri, and my 2 bugs, Hailey and Hunter!!!! God Bless!!

    Hey, I just saw your reply and realized I missed you as you already came through Lincoln. I apologize for not checking my emails sooner as I meant what I said about you having a place to stay. Will you be coming back through Lincoln another day?

    Keep up what you are doing! God bless you and America! :)

    Hello! America... and GrindTv.com... I'm now in Lincoln, Nebraska... Tommorrow, I will be getting out brochures at UNL University of Nebraska Lincoln... The Rumor is that HIV and AIDS isn't in Nebraska... Wrong... Let's not get anything Backwards... I assure you all in Nebraska and Across America... It's Alive and Well... I did see allot of Homeless in Lincoln, Nebraska... It's so easy for us all to "Forget"... It's Sad... I'm sure there are many who need Safe Access to Medical Marijuana on a Federal level... But, again we "Forget" and "Force" these Sufferring American's to get Marijuana Illegally... Most American's go to Pharmacy and get their Medicine... However, I can't get the only Medicine, I get for my HIV to Eat, Sleep and Ease My Pain... I almost couldn't get brochures donated to get out the HIV/AIDS information... However, we can give these Politicians Millions for their Campaigns... I've been 5,600 Miles Backwards on a 20inch BMX Bike for the Homeless, HIV/AIDS and Medical Marijuana... The biggest sponsorship I've ever gotten was $150... I use all my disability money to try and save some lives before I leave America... Why do we all have to go Backwards??? Why don't we do anything to correct these issues??? Yes, their difficult... But, if we can fix our cars... We can fix these problems too... Were always in a Hurry or to Busy... These Politicians continue to focus on a fight against each other... Spending Millions... I will continue to focus on my fight for the Sufferring in America... God Bless America... I want to say Happy Birthday to my Little Sister Misti in Kansas... I Love You All... The Ride of My Life Goes On...

    What you are doing is wonderful! My mother died of cancer and we lived in Florida with no medical marijauna, and I had to go to criminals in bad neighborhoods to get her the medicine she needed to be comfortable and stay alive. When I get paid I'm going to donate to your paypal. Your cause is a great one. Thank you for opening the eyes of the world. :) Bless Your Heart

    Lisa... "I Assure You"... People who need Safe Access to Medical Marijuana on a Federal level are no longer going to have to go thru Drug Dealers... Nor, will I let them "Kill" anyone else because they Speak out or need Safe Access to this Medicine... Nor, will I let them Invade on the Sufferring American's Privacy... We have a Duty to Protect the Sufferring in America... The Lord has watched every life they have taken... The Lord keep me alive to stop the Killing of Sufferring American's who need Safe Medical Marijuana for their Cancer, MS, Leukemia, Lupus, HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses... Safe Access in all 50 States...

    When Obama made the statement that Small Towns Across America are Bitter, Angry and Frustrated... Obama's statement was correct... As, I have Biked Backwards Across America... American's know America is going Backwards... They are Angry, Bitter and Frustrated that our Senate and Congress focuses on Baseball Players and B12 Shots and not the real problems in America... Such as, Homelessness, HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Healthcare, Illegal Immigration, Medical Marijuana, Enviroment and Fuel Prices... and other important issues... American's are Sick and Tired of not being heard, being lied too and not being able to spend time with their Family and Friends... They are tired of having to work two jobs... One to pay the bills and a second job to pay for their gas... They are also Bitter, Angry and Frustrated that America always pays the World Bills... It's time for America to take care of America... "Not The World" It's time for for America to take back Our Country, Freedom, Privacy and Our Liberty... It's time we take America "Forward" and not "Backwards"... It's also time we gid rid of these Senate and Congress members who continue to bring us Backwards... God Bless America...

    Rock ON!

    "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

    Wishing the best of all possible worlds,

    Thanks Tony... They say one Man can Make a Difference... Jesus Did... I can't save the World... However, I can fight for the sufferring in America and maybe save someone from making the same mistakes in life that I made... It's a Honor to work for the Lord... I still make mistakes, just not like I use too... My Son and America's Children are the Future of this Country and I want a Better America for them and those who are Sufferring... God Bless America...
