    Hey folks, as some of you might know, I've been making plans to do a bike tour down the west coast via the 101 highway. My goal is to bike from Astoria, Oregon to Slab City, California and arrive in time for StP's Dirty Scouts Jamboree in October. I've done a few small bike tours before, but...

    Photos Wachu ridin'?

    I'm just curious as to what kind of bikes you are all riding around. Even if you're not touring let's see some bikes! Here's mine, a Miyata 5 speed road bike. It works awesome for deliveries. Love the front and back racks. Was thinking of getting panniers but I don't really need them.

    Bike busk brigade

    I've always thought it would be awesome to do a bicycle-mounted band tour. I'm planning to live off my bike around the southwest and beyond and definitely bringing an instrument to busk with, maybe fiddle, although I'm better at accordion (maybe both? banjo??) anyway start a desert bike folk...

    Bike bums? Gonna do it up.

    I've been traveling on and off the past 7 years, the majority of those 7 have been spent on the road. I've kind of been weird about posting online for travel companions because of bad experiences, not to mention the guff I've heard from people I have traveled with about rideshare boards...

    1987 bike trip

    Long about 1987 or so I was getting tired of hanging out in the city of Chicago. I had been going to Montana to work as a ranch hand and mule packer for a couple of summers but I always returned to Chi-town to work during the winter as a Bike messenger. Now, you might think that working as a...

    Benefits of travelling by bike rather than walking?

    I was thinking about walking once I start travelling on the road which I thought was a good idea, but the only thing is it would be more challenging to get somewhere fast which is why I am considering taking my bike. I can do 22 miles a day walking, and at most 95 miles on my bike in a day. I...

    Salutations from Olympia- Preparing for Launch

    I came to Washington for some temporary work, and decided to stay for the rainforests, islands, mountains, and rivers. That's the stuff I like most, so if I'm not out unicycling, I'm out exploring. Now I sleep on the couch of a relative in Olympia, and work part-time to pay off the car I arrived...

    Ex-hitchhiker up for a bike tour

    So I've been hitchhiking around for a couple of months now, and somehow I've figured it isn't the right fit for me. I've met many great, compassionate people and had fun camping (I was always the ninja on halloween), but something about the type of people on the road strikes me as harmful. I...

    dogs on bikes?

    So I picked up this skinny scrawny black dog on the side of the road in the middle of no-fucking-where Missouri. She was infested with bugs (ticks, fleas, worms, all that jazz) and I was pretty sure she had parvo. But 4 months later, she's sleeping on my feet in New York. I've been slowly...
