TSG, Inc. Releases MyBikeInfo iPhone Application


In these difficult economic times, it’s especially difficult for non-profit entities to raise funds to support their charitable missions. As a result, Robert Hess, CEO of TSG, Inc., and Founder and President of the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project (PCaAP), embarked on a program to create a self-funding mechanism for the PCaAP.

Because the PCaAP uses bicycling events to disseminate it’s “Early Detection, Early Treatment” message and to drive healthy lifestyle activities, the logical choice was something related to cycling. The result, after 9 months of technical development led by Mr. Prem Sundaram, is the MyBikeInfo iPhone application.

The application stores all of the information necessary for a proper positioning fit for an unlimited number of bicycles and includes the ability to create RSS feeds within the application. It’s available now in the iTunes application store. Full details are at http://www.mybikeinfo.com. Proceeds go to prostate cancer awareness and testing for men without medical insurance.

TSG, Inc. is pleased to pleased to support the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project.

Initial reviews look pretty good. See velogirlscoaching in San Francisco.

Alpe d'Huez for Prostate Cancer Awareness


As part of our prostate cancer awareness program, I rented a bicycle during my July visit to Italy and France and climbed the Alpe d'Huez in our current bicycling kit - although it's a bit difficult to see the logo in the picture. I learned that the Dutch cancer foundation does an annual fundraiser on the Alpe d'Huez that raised 5 million Euros on June 6, 2009. I've got an idea for a similar event here in the US.

To my dismay, however, I had forgotten to take my bicycle fit dimensions with me, so I made the climb with a less than optimal bicycle adjustment. But, I'll never need to suffer like that again. My firm, TSG, has just released an iPhone application, MyBikeInfo, that records every possible dimension of a bicycle adjustment for all types of bicycles: road, time trial, track, mountain, etc.


The application is available now from the iTunes application store, and 50% of all proceeds are going to the Prostate Cancer Awareness Project to support awareness and annual testing for men without health insurance. Give it try! You should be able to access the app from the MyBikeInfo website, but if that does not work, just open your iTunes application and search for MyBikeInfo.

And watch this blog for information on our new project. PS. This picture was taken at Turn 4 and I was more than ready for the climb to be over!
