Welcome
Hey there!
Now that you've found us, you're probably wondering what we're about.
Who is Jay Austin?
While cycling the world
Jay Austin
our inspiration
was murdered in 2018 in a terrorist attack in Central Asia
without provocation
but simply because he was an American.
Simply Cycling, Traveling The World By Bicycle
is the blog he was writing while on this adventure,
'part chronicling-our-journey and part helping-others-plan-their-own'. Read it here.
Hoping to carry on Jay's legacy, to advocate for his passions
of which he had many
we created
The Jay Austin Simply Be Kind Foundation, Inc.
Our mission to promote positive change consists of diverse topics,
such as
Cultural Diversity, Literacy, Nutrition,
Protecting our Environment,
Sustainability, Minimalism,
and The Great Outdoors with an emphasis on Cycling.

and to purchase a trishaw to provide
volunteer-piloted bike rides to seniors.
