Biking across America by Pueblo, Colorado

Biking across America, an adventure as fast or slow as you’d like.

When you’re pursuing the Adventure Possible life, your adventures can be whatever you want.

For one of ours, we biked across America, and we highly recommend it because of it’s affordability, accessibility, and awesomeness.

Biking across America is a long-distance adventure that comes in a variety of styles and is accessible to most reasonably fit and healthy adventurers.

From completely self-contained bike rides that meander for months to completely supported bicycle tours that blaze from one coast to another in a few weeks, the bike across America adventure gives adventurers lots of flexibility in designing the adventure that meets their budget, timing, and adventure style needs.

I had the great joy of biking across America on a self-contained bike trip from Oregon to North Carolina. Here’s every blog post from my Bike across America adventure.

I was not an avid or experienced cyclist before the adventure. I had never biked long distance, but the adventure seemed worthwhile.

I bought a touring bike, gear, maps, and plane ticket. I took a 90 day sabbatical from work and flew out to the west coast. 4,500 miles and smiles later, my bike tires rolled into the Atlantic Ocean.

I believe long-distance cycling, and specifically biking across America, to be an adventure within reach of most able, motivated people. I also believe it to be an adventure that can have an awesome transformative impact on the adventurer, helping improve health, build character, and shape world view.

Below you’ll find articles that will help you plan, pay for, and succeed on a bike trip across America.
