A stranger passing through

Alex Brede and his touring bike

Today, Alex Brede was passing through Waterloo on his transcontinental bike tour.  He’d read my Couchbike story in Adventure Cyclist and wanted to come by and see the rest of the bikes in the fleet.

It was nice to chat with Alex about his trip so far.  He started at his home in Bellingham, Washington and is on his way to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  It was a steamy hot day, but Alex still wanted to put in a few more miles towards Niagara Falls before the day was out.

I took this photo just as Alex was heading off in the midafternoon sun.

It was nice meeting you Alex.  I hope the rest of your trip goes well.

Couchbike Story in Adventure Cyclist Magazine

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
The story of my couchbike adventure has been published in the June 2007 issue of Adventure Cyclist Magazine, the one bicycling magazine truly dedicated to bicycle adventure.

I like the layout of this one.  They used a number of never before published photos from the trip.

If you’re already a member of the Adventure Cycling Association, you can look for the magazine in your mail box.  Otherwise, it’s worth checking out their site at: http://www.adv-cycling.org/
