I'm excited to share with everyone here in tourism my passion of bicycle touring. I've been a cyclist for over 15 years getting my start in BMX, MTB, Road, Bicycle Touring/ Bikepacking. I've traveled a great deal around the globe and always wanted to figure out a way how I can turn my passion into something that can offer value to people. I'm not here to drop a link, but I do encourage you all to PM me if you are interested in guided cycling tours in New York City. I have 4 tours as of now with one that is scenic and leaves NYC for an hour. Bike touring is such a great way to experience a place and it's people. I've been open for business for about 3 months now and received 2 bookings so far. I am working hard at getting more daily. My website is optimized for mobile and other devices for anyone to book anywhere. Anxious to share a link to my website so check it out here... <a href="https://biketoursbymanualpedal.com/" target="_blank">Bike Tours by Manual Pedal</a> where people can book a bike tour. Would love for you to share with friends and family who may be visiting the city here. Looking forward to hearing feedback.</span></p><p></p><p></p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/bicycle-tour-from-north-america-to-south-america 2016-03-29T22:18:03.000Z 2016-03-29T22:18:03.000Z Nicholas Maiolo https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/NicholasMaiolo <div><p>Hey y'all I'm building a bicycle and saving some cash to start an epic bike ride from Central California to South America. I have no end goal in mind, I just want to hit the road and stay vegan while seeking out the best fruit along the way. Ideally I want to keep touring around the world for years to come and spread the vegan message. I'd like to volunteer/work on fruit farms along the way and connect with other vegans and fruitheads. I'm thinking about documenting the experience on youtube or some other social media but we'll see how that goes, I'm pretty techno-phobic but I'm starting to change my views on the subject. After following Freelea and Durianrider on youtube I've realized that the internet is one of the best places to spread the vegan message and connect with like-minded people. I'm looking for all the help, tips and advice I can get. A lot of people are telling me that I'll be robbed, killed or forced to eat animal products along the way but I'm not buying into that propaganda. I plan on riding a moutain-bike frame that I'm currently working on and pulling a one wheel BOB trailer. Hopefully I can fit a whole banana box on it :) . I'll be camping out mostly unless I'm invited to stay with kind folks or give in to a cheap motel. I have not much money at the moment and am technically homeless. A big challenge will be raising the funds and continuing to fund the journey along the way while being able to purchase quality fruit. Thanks everyone and I'm so stoked to join the 30BAD community!</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/cycle-touring-advice-from 2010-07-21T00:22:58.000Z 2010-07-21T00:22:58.000Z liliaceous https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/liliaceous <div>Hey everyone!<div><br /></div><div>I'm looking into a TransAmerican cycle ride (East to West)...Soooo...</div><div><br /></div><div>If anyone has any advice/experience it'd be much appreciated if they could share!</div><div>Such as:</div><div>-Bikes...which brands/models are comfortable, reliable, and geared well (preferably around or under $1000)</div><div><br /></div><div>-Pannier vs. trailer</div><div><br /></div><div>-Equipment...tools, camping gear, clothes, gloves, shoes, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Suggested routes, points of interest, and/or bi-coastal bike trails (the last one is probably a dream!) :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Any info, big or small, would be very appreciated!</div></div>
