A City Bike & How It Was Able To Network a Story

By Rob Sutter


If there's anything that I believe any one person can enjoy, it's a feel-good story. People want to hear those tales about those who desire to take on the world and have only the best intentions in mind. This story has come alive and the usage of Instagram has been beneficial in keeping those on the outside in the loop as to what has been occurring. One man decided to take to his city bike and tackle the world; in terms of scope, it is said in the most literal sense.

The story talks about a man by the name of Rob Lutter, who decided to take a venture around the world. He left his job in film in order to venture about on a bicycle across great distances. As of this writing, he had traveled for over 9,000 miles, all the while crossing several boarders. In addition, he has raised money for a global aid site, more than $2,000 to be exact. With so many types of terrain to move through, it's clear that he had a challenge at his hands and he took it head on.

Lutter's efforts were great, to say the least, and he has traveled great miles on a city bike, which is something that very few people can effectively go about. I think that the most interesting aspect of this story, though, is that Lutter stayed in touch with his supports thanks to social media. Over the course of time, he has utilized Instagram in order to take pictures of places he has been and it's allowed others to offer support and keep in touch to boot. I believe that people invested In companies the likes of Linus Bike should take notice of this, too.

Whether you're talking about the efforts of social media or just about any proactive action in general, this is a story worth talking about. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've climbed upon my bicycle for the sake of a simple ride. I wouldn't have thought that I could travel so far as the entire world but Lutter has taken that idea and is shaping it into a reality as we speak. Even though he has gained so much support in the past, he's deserving of more.

It's amazing what social media can do, especially with an unlikely topic like a city bike being placed alongside it. This form of communication can be used in order to keep touch with people many miles away, no matter where you are in the world. This luxury has been taken advantage of by Lutter and it has done a great deal in order to help his endeavor. In time, I can only hope that he earns a greater deal of support as he continues to tackle this goal.
