Maybe we’re an odd case. But if you add up housing-related expenses, we pay more to rent in Valencia, Spain, than we did in Los Angeles, California.

All of the personal financial details in a minute, but first—

That’s a sneak peek at the Friki de Bici logo created—mostly—by my wife.

If all goes as hoped, planned and intended it will soon be something you randomly stumble upon when you’re out and about in Valencia, Barcelona, San Francisco, Paris and Amsterdam.

If all really goes as hoped, planned and intended, you’ll be able to pick one up in one or more Valencia bike shops and bike rental places. Soon, you’ll be able to purchase a t-shirt—among other items—online with that design.

Use the button below to support the hopes, plans, and intentions—the dream, really—of this Friki de Bici project. We want to take this thing global, but we need your help.

A Never Retire newsletter subscription also does the trick, particularly a $100 or more founding membership, which I will convert into a comped, lifetime subscription.

Now—the lowdown on how we pay more to rent in Valencia than in LA.
