LEGENDS OF 'BIKE FOR BIBLES' HONOURED.
The legendary Bike Man, Jim Blaxland, has been remembered as a humble and caring man who ensured the long-range Bike for Bibles rides he organised for Bible Society literacy programs ran like clockwork and everyone had fun.
Jim, who died on 31 January at the age of 79, was lauded at a memorial service in Sydney on 6 February as “an amazingly friendly bloke who loved God, people and organising crazily long fundraising bike rides,” in the words of Rick George, custom Bibles coordinator for Bible Society. Eternity.
