A City Bike & a Social Media Story to Tell

By Rob Sutter


Sometimes you'll come across a story that tugs at one's heart strings and makes you want to support the person who is being talked about. You want to be able to connect with that person and know whether or not their actions are proving to be worthwhile. With one particular story, it seems like just about anyone with an Instagram account can do exactly that. This is the story of one man who made a city bike venture turn out to be much more than that.

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.

Social media is an impressive subject because of how people can stay in touch, no matter what. People can be across the world from one another and it allow those very users to communicate, which is something that I am sure Lutter has taken into account when going about this. This is easily one of the biggest luxuries to consider when you're talking about electronics. People have used it for this long and I do not see that, along with Lutter's goal, being abandoned.
