Now this is a bike ride.
A long distance bike ride (e.g., across America) would be awesome to accomplish. Unfortunately, it’s no small feat to (1) establish support for such a ride, and then (2) actually do it. So I probably won’t be attempting one anytime soon. Alas.
There was a German who walked the same route in the opposite direction. He wasn’t interested in speed and wound up taking like seven years. Along the way he got married and had a couple of kids. His first name was George, I think. Backpacker magazine had an article about him in the ’80s.
