    I'm going to ride from NC to Key West in October then do the East to West ride some time after that. Im 35 years old and hadn't really thought about doing these long trips seriously until several months ago it hit me like a brick wall. Now it's all I want to do. I daydream about going all the time

    It's interesting, as someone from California, to learn that it is in fact legal to ride bike on certain highways. For example, the 74 makes sense because there isn't too much traffic but riding on the 10 makes nervous lol

    As someone who lives in tornado alley, whenever a tornado hits, it’s not really like a movie where it rips your house out of the ground. The occasional tree falls down and your roof loses tiling. Once I was jogging when a tornado hit, was worried but the thing just made everything windy and rainy passed by me and I was good lol.

    Nice video, I like these kinds of travel adventures! On living in 'dangerous by nature' places, maybe it is all kind of relative: A Dutch colleague of mine while visiting a relative in the California earthquake region wondered : aren't you afraid living on the edge of two tectonic plates, waiting for an earthquake? His relative answered: You are living in a Dutch polder 6.6 meters below sea level, aren't you afraid ? Fact is that both families ancestors have been living like that, making it 'business as usual'.
    On the traffic part (dangerous things), I realise more and more how blessed we are with the Dutch cycling infrastructure

    I would have carried over 6L of water. Also, for heat, discover powdered gatorade. Picking the absolute hottest time of the year places a premium on acclimatizing to the heat. Meaning, be out in it, exercising gently, plenty of water and salty food available, light colored cotton shirt, wide hat.

      Take time to develop the skills necessary to ask for shelter for the night.. Huge help was using couchsurfing.com and warmshowers.org very useful. :)

    Did you ever get stopped by police? I thought it was against the law to ride a bike on the shoulder of I-10. Nice video.

    • @TheOneGoodRoad
      @TheOneGoodRoad  5 лет назад

      Nah. As long as there isn't a sign at the beginning of the highway saying "bikes not permitted" then it's legal.

    not that youre doing anything wrong, but do you encounter a lot of police??? im going from Poughkeepsie NY to kingman AZ in may. I don't like the police even looking my way let alone making direct eye contact,...or asking me to stop because I have nothing to say to them

      some police are just plain weird and most are unpredictable to say the least. I had police rummaging thru my SOCKS in my pack once, my stuff was scattered across the road, and all over the place. he told me after he was done frisking my stuff to "pick up all that crap before I write you a ticket for littering". that was just WALKING. I was guilty of walking with a backpack.
