Hope you have a safe trip, I know it will be fun, but I got to tell you something, you went the wrong way, Alaska in northwest, not southeast. Live, from East Bernstadt, Ky, about 20 miles from Pongo, Ky.

The weather is a little chiily but it was so cute to see the little one sound asleep as the family crused along the beautiful white beach all sunburned or faces were chilled. The little girl looked so happy pumping along with her beautifull blonde curls flowing in the wind! Best wishes to you.

Pierce, Fl on their way to Tampa. I love the crank he was using. Really odd looking - shaped like a Z. Totally awesome. Where did you get it? Love to have more information on it. looked really smooth. I saw them biking in Ft. Pierce, Fl on their way to Tampa. I love the crank he was using. Really odd looking - shaped like a Z.

Despite some token striped bike lanes, American roads are not built with bikes in mind, and a lot of them (like US 101, the Pacific highway these people plan to travel) have curvy, hilly parts that will make traveling on their long, inflexible contraption very dangerous. Same thing for the many long bridges on 101 that were built in the thirties, with extremely narrow sidewalks. Scary.
