RETREET is headed to Fort Collins! Stay tuned for pictures, video, and the like for our upcoming excursion. For now, catch up on some of our great posts from the past week:

  • Marvel at the lengths one Argentinian man went to in order to proclaim his love for the wife he lost 35 years ago. Pedro Martin Ureta has nurtured to life a guitar-shaped forest made up of 7,000 trees that is clearly visible from space.

  • Take a gander at the fastest bicycle in the world. It barely even looks vehicular!

  • Check out the Skylock, which promises to revolutionize the way you secure your bike. Bicycle sharing? Crash alerts? Theft warnings? Just a few of the features this awesome invention boasts. 

Did you ride your bike to work last week? Share a photo with us in celebration of Bike to Work Day. Also, it's not too late to help us reach our goal of planting 50 trees for those rebuilding in the wake of floods in Evans, CO!

Did you have a good weekend? Ride your bike or plant a tree? We hope the weather is warming up, wherever you are!

This week, we present an entertaining animation about the evolution of the bicycle, the lowdown on bike types and how to tell which one is for you, a three-part documentary called "The Truth About Trees," and a link to information and registration for Fort Collins RETREET II. If you are free Memorial Day Weekend, join us as we plant in the aftermath of fires and floods.
