Not likely "coming soon", but was still a fun idea

• Mileage Sponsorship package includes sponsor's name and the number of sponsored miles noted under the List of Sponsors on Blog-By-Bike.
  
• Day or Segment Sponsorship package includes sponsor's name and number of sponsored days or segments (along with choice of specific day(s)/segment(s) to sponsor along the route) noted under the List of Sponsors and a special blog post with a sponsor bio and photo (optional) on the sponsored day or segment of the trip.
• Coast-to-Coast Sponsorship package includes a personalized postcard sent from every state along the tour route, the renaming of "Blog-By-Bike" in your honor, your haloed photo across the blog's main header, an ode to you in every blog post, and my first born child*.
  
• All sponsorship packages can be purchased by individuals or groups.
• A special thanks to my friend Cassie, who sparked these sponsorship ideas while we were shopping for her wedding dress in Midtown Manhattan earlier this week.
• And thank you to anyone who continues to read this blog - even if your personal financial situation, a variety of current economic factors, or a sensible lack of inclination to contribute monetarily to a frivolous cause will never enable you to donate here. Your readership and emotional support is worth its weight in cro-moly steel bicycle frames (as opposed to the lighter aluminum or carbon fiber).
