20 years ago, I started a second career as a motorcycle journalist, and I’ve been lucky enough to see many of the beautiful places in the world and publishing stories and photos of my adventures. I’ve started documenting my bicycle adventures in a similar fashion, and will be sharing those stories here. Please join me.

Ride with me as I take the Amtrak to Pittsburgh and then start the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) Trail, but not before stopping at a crazy bicycle museum – Bicycle Heaven! Bicycle Heaven is truly a unique place: I’m riding a Bike Friday All Packa folding gravel bike. Video and photos shot by me on…

The next chapter of my electric cross-country adventure is now on Substack. I’m still in Nevada, spellbound by it’s rugged beauty and gobsmacked at how George A. Wyman and others before him crossed these vast, inhospitable distances. https://open.substack.com/pub/followingwyman/p/07-across-the-forty-mile-desert?r=2rzwg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I nommed on an energy bar, chatted with my neighbors, and looking up again, I saw the sun then half-obscured, but everything else seemed normal. Only at 80-percent coverage did…

Looks like #motorcycle#motorcycle #riders#riders were already #hooning#hooning back in 1905. EDIT: The Internet can be a fun place sometimes. After I posted this news clip on Reddit, I was contacted (via LinkedIn) by a motorcycle who lived in South Pasadena and got a kick out of it. He happened to be a motorcycle designer, and…
