Long-Distance Traveling by Bicycle
Interested in traveling somewhere far far away on a bicycle? Maybe a month-long trip down the Atlantic coast or a trip to visit your friend in Philadelphia? Come to this workshop with Corry and Andrew and we'll talk all about how to plan your trip, how to pick good routes, how to set up your bike, what to bring, where to sleep, considerations when picking travel partners (or going it solo), and lots more. We'll talk about our own experiences, but we also want to spend a lot of time on your questions, ideas for trips, and your own experiences if you have them. This will be an interactive workshop with bikes to look at and maps to pour over. By the time you leave you should be one big step closer to loading up your bike and getting on the road!
