Hard to believe, I know.
It’s been ten long years since a friend suggested holding a fund drive to help pay for this site, allowing me to turn pro.
It started as a joke, but quickly turned into an important source of funding, as people like you surprised me by opening their hearts and wallets to us.
And by us, I mean me and my four-legged assistant down there at the bottom.
It’s been ten years of good news and bad, happy and, yes, sad. Because I always try tell you the truth about what’s happening on our streets, to the best of my ability, so you know what’s going on out there.
I admit, it’s been a challenge this year, as my wife and I have both struggled with a litany of issues. It’s meant I haven’t been able to keep this up every day, though I’ve done my best to bring you the most important news, and catch up on anything we’ve missed.
Now it’s your turn.
If you think we bring something of value to your life, maybe you can share just a small part of your hard-earned income, and a kick a few bucks this way. Or more than a few, if the spirit moves you.
I won’t turn it down.
You can donate with just a few clicks by using PayPal. Or by using the Zelle app that is probably already in the banking app on your smartphone; just send your contribution to ted@bikinginla.com.
You can also use Venmo@BikinginLA now. Or at least I think you can. Let me know if it works.
As always, any amount, no matter how large or small, is truly and deeply appreciated. And needed more than ever in this challenging year.
But either way, I hope you’ll keep coming back here, and keep reading in the days to come.
Because none of this matters without you.
