Cross Country Bicycle Touring and Planning

BicycleTrek.com is a site chronicling my cross-country bicycle trek / tour of America that I embarked on in May of 1997 at the age of 33. Want to try bicycling across America? I describe the hows and whys of doing a cross country bike tour, choosing the right touring bike, mapping the tour and have included my daily bike ride journal / mileage log along with photos detailing the miles pedaled, routes and states I bicycled through.

This bicycle trip was an adventure of a lifetime and even now more than ten years later I feel the profound effect it has had on me. Many of the wonderful people I met during that trip have remained close friends that I still see to this day. If you are sitting on the fence about doing a long distance bike tour or bicycling across America-just do it! Start planning your bike tour now. Your life will be changed for the better.
