[RBW] A Bicycle Adventure Story

Fantastic. One of the guys says it makes him think of freedom. That’s the thing 
a bicycle gives kids and adults. Thanks for sharing this Grady.

[RBW] A Bicycle Adventure Story

[in Dallas nick]

This reminds us me of a book from 1969by Fred Bauer called 'How Many Hills to 
Hillsboro?'
I see the book listed on ebay.
I read it years and years ago.It was one of the books that inspired me to try 
bicycle touring.
It's about a family of 5 , the Bauer family from New Jersey, the parents in 
their early 30's,with 3 kids, 13, 11, and 3 years old.
They decided to spend a summer vacation cycling across the USA.
They started in New York City and  made it about 2000 miles to Albuquerque,  
New Mexico.
The Dad was carrying the 3 year old in a child seat.
They were not seasoned cyclists.
They rode 4 new Schwinn 5 speeds of that time and were overall ill equipped 
from what I recall but just persisted and kept pedaling for about 8 weeks 
averaging 45 miles per day.
At the end they ran out of time and needed to get back home.
At any rate what an adventure for that family!
It would be interesting to hear the children's recollections of that eventful 
summer vacation. 
Safe pedaling to all,
Paul in Dallas

[RBW] A Bicycle Adventure Story

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

You guys, has no one listened to this episode Grady recommended? No? You have 
done yourselves a disservice. I am only in the middle of it and had to stop to 
come back here and write to you! Thank you Grady - I am subscribed now and 
LOVING IT!

Let me set this up for you. You’re 10 year old, and it’s the 70s. You have the 
coolest ‘70s father to ever walk the Earth in platform shoes. He’s the type of 
guy who says late at night, “Who wants to get ice cream?” and extends the 
invite to however many of your friends can pile in his van. Seat belts? For 
what? One day your dad tells you he thinks you should ride to your uncle’s 
house. 240 miles away. Across 2 states. Over the Adirondack Mountains. On your 
3 speed bicycle. You still have your baby teeth. Put this story together with a 
grab-your-gut-funny host that will make folks in other cars look sideways at 
you during your fits of laughter at stoplights. 

And that is where I leave you. 
Leah

hope you will forgive this post for not being Rivendell specific content 
but I wanted to share it. . .because BIKES. 

Hope ya'll enjoy
