In what has been an amazing personal experience in my Porsche-life, I have organized the purchase of the Weissach Bike Spyder 37/200 from the bike's first and only owner in Germany. I had help from a new friend and son of the person that created the original Porsche Bike Spyder 9.85 prototype. Ten PCA members combined our efforts to fund this purchase and I led the communication with the seller. The money was wired and my new friend is picking up the bike tomorrow. Our team's goal is to set up a photo shoot with this bike, the prototype and the gentlemen responsible for the first Porsche bicycle. The photos will end up with a story about Porsche Bikes in an upcoming Porsche Panorama magazine. Once the photos are taken, we're planning to ship the bike from Europe to the US and display the Bike Spyder #37 at the PCA National office for all to see. We'll include pages from the May 1991 Christophorus magazine that features the prototype Bike Spyder in the display.
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!
