Traveling With My Bicycles
Wrapping up the editing of my booklet "Traveling With My Bicycles". It
tells a short story of what drove me to riding bicycles. Most of the
booklet is filled with how to create your "mulit-activity" trip.
Plans are to make the booklet available as an e-book for Kindle.

"So,
what are you going to do to keep active?" was the question my
cardiac rehab folks asked in my exit interview. After weeks walking
on the treadmill, I knew this was not the solution. My mom walks
with a group. But walking the mall did not appeal me, either.
Hiking is great, but "hiking" amongst the corn fields of
Iowa?
As
a kid, I used to ride a bicycle. Maybe that would peak my interest.
I set out to look at purchasing a bicycle. I started riding local
trails. Soon, I was taking a bicycle with me on trips. These trips
combined my exploring nature, love of photography, and riding my
bicycle.
The trips I take are not for
folks that want to lay on the beach and work on their tan. They are
trips filled with activity yet leaving time to relax, recover and
reflect.
This
booklet is a compilation of what I have learned planning and
implementing these trips. It is not a recipe for the perfect trip.
It is meant to cause you to consider ways to blend activities you
enjoy with things you are passionate about into your travels.
