#I'll ride with you...

I'll ride with you SMH article - on Rachael Jacobs who inspired Sydney TV content writer Tessa Kum to begin the I'llridewithyou hashtag

Jason Maggs in Sydney.

This all began on Monday morning 15.12.14 and ended in the early hours of Tuesday 16.12.14 - hopefully, it stays ended, and we can all keep walking, keep riding, keep living.
