How a City Bike Depicted a Strong Networking Tale

By Rob Sutter


If there's anything that I believe any one person can enjoy, it's a feel-good story. People want to hear those tales about those who desire to take on the world and have only the best intentions in mind. This story has come alive and the usage of Instagram has been beneficial in keeping those on the outside in the loop as to what has been occurring. One man decided to take to his city bike and tackle the world; in terms of scope, it is said in the most literal sense.

The story talks about a man by the name of Rob Lutter, who decided to take a venture around the world. He left his job in film in order to venture about on a bicycle across great distances. As of this writing, he had traveled for over 9,000 miles, all the while crossing several boarders. In addition, he has raised money for a global aid site, more than $2,000 to be exact. With so many types of terrain to move through, it's clear that he had a challenge at his hands and he took it head on.

Lutter's efforts were great, to say the least, and he has traveled great miles on a city bike, which is something that very few people can effectively go about. I think that the most interesting aspect of this story, though, is that Lutter stayed in touch with his supports thanks to social media. Over the course of time, he has utilized Instagram in order to take pictures of places he has been and it's allowed others to offer support and keep in touch to boot. I believe that people invested In companies the likes of Linus Bike should take notice of this, too.

I can't begin to tell you just how much this story impresses me. Even going out to ride for an hour or so can tire out a good number of people and Lutter has taken to riding around the world on a bicycle. It's clear that he has gained a tremendous amount of support from people but who's to say that a little more would hurt? In fact, I think that if this body of support continued to be built, it would allow Lutter to have even more of a structure to push onward more.

Social media stands as one of the biggest platforms in the world and I believe that stands for a multitude of reasons. One of the bigger ones has to do with the idea of communication and how it can be done across long distances, no matter if you are states or countries apart. When speaking about luxuries, I don't know if there are many which are greater than this. Lutter has made great use of it and it may be one of the more genuine utilizations I have seen yet.
