VIDEO: Durham Days
Monday, September 6th, 2010We’ve been in Durham, NC for the last few days and have been having a blast meeting with several bikey folks. We’ve stayed with a Durham rider who completed Paris-Brest-Paris (thanks Branson!), met several bike commuters and have hung out with a few readers. We have been wanting to do more videos for [...]
Embracing Serendipity
Saturday, September 4th, 2010We’re leaving Winston-Salem, headed toward Greensboro. There’s a bike shop that we’ve heard about that we want to check out, and a brewery in town that everyone says is fantastic. We have no idea where we’re going to wind up that night.
On our way through downtown Winston-Salem, we stumble into a [...]
Recommended Reading
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010We love to read. And we love to always have a book or two on hand. This was true before we left on this trip (which is why we had to clear out approx 1200 books) and it’s true now (we try to only carry one book at a time these days, but [...]

In Defense of the Shiftless Bums
Sunday, August 29th, 2010The longer we’ve been riding our bicycles, the less our trip has been about our bicycles for us. They are vehicles to move our curiosity around the country. They are our “means” of transportation but not the “end” of the trip.
We’ve been stopped countless times by serious looking cyclists on the [...]
Live Webcast: Chapel Hill, NC on Sunday!
Friday, August 27th, 2010It has been a while folks since we’ve done a live webcast. We’re constantly moving and internet is sporadic, but we are fairly certain that we will have a strong WiFi signal on Sunday. Through a friend of a friend of a friend, we’ve been fortunate enough to have a night at the [...]

VIDEO: Motel Cookin!
Saturday, August 21st, 2010We find ourselves on the outskirts of the town of Hickory, NC and get a motel. Motels, especially the cheap ones, are never by anything worth eating. So, we do a little urban camp cooking in front of our motel room!
