You know, I'm the guy who bought one of Val's early prototype 2-point Xtracycle kickstands-- it's gray square steel tubing and a retainer spring, nothing fancy looking... but it has worked flawlessly for seven years now, and leaves my FreeRad front tubes open for my Footsies or Wideloaders. Can't remember what I paid for it, but it's been priceless ever since, so it was a bargain! And he made it a pleasure to do business with him. Just one example of Val's engineering/craftsmanship excellence. Plus he's a gentleman. Plus an outstanding bike advocate. Plus he's a fellow human with cancer. Let's help him get his bills paid.

Val's been a great bike advocate, especially for all things Xtracycle. C’mon folks, give it up! Val’s been a great bike advocate, especially for all things Xtracycle.

Our prayers go to him and so will our donations! Although we’ve never met Val personally, he has been a great supporter of this site. Our prayers go to him and so will our donations!
