Alan Snel is pedaling his butt off as a bike messenger of sorts. His message is a huge placard fastened to his bicycle that promotes Sunday's Bicycle Bash in Tampa.
Alan explains on his blog, Bike Stories, that's he's the marketing director for Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium and Oliver's Cycle Sports bike stores in Tampa. He must be the director of a staff of one, or maybe he just saves all the plum assignments for himself.
For at least a month, he's been pedaling out to bicycling and other events where people congregate around the Tampa-St. Pete area to display the “Bash Board.” That's Alan above, getting coverage from the local Fox affiliate. The sign promotes the Bicycle Bash, 1-5 p.m. Sunday in the plaza at the St. Pete Forum. The bike stores are sponsoring the event.
Alan says he bicycles anywhere from 15 to 85 miles a day …

It will interesting to see if Landis is even mentioned at the event …
