You guys are doing an amazing job. It really is inspiring to see how far people will go for a cause they believe in. Don't stop even for the signs!
If you get pulled over for running that stop sign, I have a quote for your trial defense:
"There is nothing wrong with a traffic law which says you have to stop for a red light. But when a fire is raging, the fire truck goes through that red light and normal traffic had better get out of the way. Or when a man is bleeding to death, the ambulance goes through those red lights at top speed. There is a fire raging...for the poor of this society. Disinherited people from all over the world are bleeding to death from deep social and economic wounds. They need brigades of ambulance drivers [and cyclists] who will have to ignore the red lights of the present system until the emergency is solved."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from The Trumpet of Conscience
Keep up the good work.... We will see you in Alabama!!!!!

Wow, Kirk! That is an awesome quote!
The pictures and video can only do so much to represent what you are complete on your bike adventure! Only you can attempt to portray what it is that you are actually feeling and experiencing. That is the truth of your devotion!
Thank you so much for your commitment. You are an inspiration to us all as we serve God's people with our abilities and talents!
Keep up your wonderful action of love!
