Cross Country Bicycle Touring and Planning

Bicycle Trek chronicles my cross-country bicycle trek / tour of America. 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 / travelogue 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. If you are sitting on the fence about doing a self-supported long distance bike tour or want to bicycle across America or Europe-just do it! Start planning your bike tour now. Please read on as I hope it will inspire you to live life under your own power!
