Get in the Book - Please Help Save the NBG Bikes

MArtin Krieg is organizing this fundraiser.

I lose my bikes, including the The 1891 Eagle HiWheel Bicycle, the Velomobile - National Bicycle Greenway, and I also lose the Via Recumbent Bicycle I rode across the USA 1986, if I don’t pay $853 by 10/15. I have fallen behind on my payments because I got hit with a debilitating scam. They are in a container with three other bikes, tools, my weight room set up, weights, household goods and business and personal records (even 100+ “Awake Again” hardback books). About $17,000 worth of stuff.

in my initial plea, I was just trying to save my bikes, but after i got my extension, I now realize I need a place for them and myself. I have been couch surfing and tent camping. With winter fast approaching, i need to add the cost of a place to live (3 mos $1500) and storage ($300 for what won't fit at the room I rent).

So that I can get back on my feet, then, I really need $1,060 before I can get back to pushing for the National Bicycle Greenway with my book, my blogs and social media posts

Here, more specifically, is why my world is in a container from an 8/30 Facebook entry - https://www.facebook.com/awakeagainmartin/posts/4120805221540492

I got an amazing offer from Taiwan for a container full of new Recumbent Bikes (100) worth several hundred thousand dollars. Unhappy with the reverse mortgage. I had recently procured. And thinking I could move to a better area, out of the hood, I decided to sell my house, buy them, move in with a friend and put my bikes, 10, in a container when disaster struck.

I sent him the money last April. Then Trump hit them with a 32% tariff. It had been 10%. His company freaked out. They offered me 20 less bicycles. I said No. I thought there would be some back-and-forth. Instead they stopped answering me. I have not given up on the bikes.

However, all I have now is a container full of household goods, tools and pedal machines that I am locked out of. This is so because my prospective housemate, whose grandparents huge home we were going to move into, ended up in jail for driving without a license. She just got out but now her grandpa doesn't want me there.
