He's in a great mood, even though his expensive, one-of-a-kind bicycle was stolen yesterday.
Yeah, now he's promising to do something crazy if that bike is returned.
New at 5, the News Reporter Joe Little reveals the cross-country stunt this Ocean Beach man is willing to duplicate
if someone else does a good deed.
Beautiful day.
A beautiful day in Ocean Beach.
To pick up trash for no other reason but to do good.
Cool.
It's what Rob Greenfield has dedicated his life to, doing good, keeping the earth clean.
That was the message Greenfield took with him as he rode this one-of-a-kind bamboo bicycle
4,700 miles from San Francisco to Vermont this summer.
Creating only two pounds of trash, using just 160 gallons of water, without plugging into a single light switch.
He returned to San Diego just two weeks ago.
Last Friday, he rode the bike to Vaughan's in Pacific Beach to get some ice cream.
And came back, the bike was stolen.
Did you chain it up?
It wasn't locked.
Oh, come on!
But I instantly had a sunken heart.
But from a sunken heart came a crazy idea.
I'm a little bit crazy, but I'm using my craziness to spread goodness.
Return the bike, which is worth about $3,500.
It's handmade in Ghana, Africa.
And Greenfield will pedal back across America doing one good deed every day.
And it's a way to inspire other people to do good and to get the masses to do good things.
Greenfield will live off the land, filtering runoff water like he does in this YouTube video.
Looks pretty good.
He'll also rely on the good deeds of the people within what he calls the Do Good Network.
To inspire people in this country to start living a happier, healthier life.
He just needs his bike back.
Until then, he'll pick up trash out of the sand, waiting for someone else to do good as well in Ocean Beach.
So this is my do good for the day.
It's helping you find your bike.
Joe Little, 10 News.
Let's pay it forward and help him find that bike.
