Dream Machines

Ever wonder what you could do with a bike and some free time? Me too. Usually I daydream about all of the places that I can go to. One daydream I like to entertain is living out on the road, just me and my bike. All my stuff stashed in my bags. Not like this guy though, his bags are full of trash. Depends on who you are though, maybe when he looks over his shoulder all he sees is treasure. Good for him though, for showing us what is possible. This guy is helping me with a reality check, next time I'm pedaling home from the grocery, all secretly proud of my self, I will think about this anonymous man and his mountain of trash. Dream big, live big.

Harrisonburg: The Bike Capital of Virginia

Another great piece from Adventure Seen. This time its all about bicycles and Tourism. Harrisonburg is known as a destination for beautiful road riding and phenomenal mountain biking. We are also the Bike Capital of Virginia. This year the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition along with the Harrisonburg-Rockingham MPO is holding the third Annual Harrisonburg & Rockingham Bike-Walk Summit on October 10. The theme of the summit is "The benefits of bicycling and walking tourism." Just listen to Ben King (VA native and 2014 Tour de France finisher on Team Garmin Sharp) talk about how much he loves to ride around Harrisonburg.
