Today I released a free photo eBook titled “Mystical Peru”. The book is basically a compilation of my best/favorite photos from my travels in Peru earlier this year – with the photos organized by city/region. I took every single one of the photos in the book and am giving the book away for free. You can download “Mystical Peru” on this page.

Today I launched my new eBook – Stretching For Cyclists. It’s a short 31-page book that teaches cyclists how to stretch, when to stretch, and which stretches they should perform. I took the photos that are used throughout the book and did all the writing. My dad helped me with some of the anatomy/stretching information that is found within the text and my friend Caroline Gleich modeled each of the fifteen stretches that are featured in the book.

For more than 6 months now I’ve been secretly working on a feature length movie designed to help first-time bicycle travelers learn everything they need to know in order to conduct their first overnight bicycle tour. I’ve titled the film “Bicycle Touring: The Movie“.

Despite what you might be thinking, “Bicycle Touring: The Movie” is not a regular movie with a set of characters and a storyline. Instead, it is a 43-minute long instructional video that teaches you about the different types of bicycle tours, what kind of bike to use on your first tour, how to pack and carry all your necessary gear, how to plan out a safe route, and a whole lot more.

This was a really big project for me and there was a time when I thought I wasn’t going to finish. Big projects are a whole lot harder to complete than smaller ones… and this one nearly beat me. But I pushed on and completed the film… and I hope that what I’ve produced will help a lot of people to get out there and experience the joys of bicycle travel.

Today I released my new eBook, The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles.

The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a 222-page eBook designed to teach people about the different types of touring bicycles, their various uses, and most importantly – it is designed to help people select the right bicycle for the type of bicycle tour that they wish to participate in.

Inside the book, readers will not only learn about what to look for in their next touring bike, but they will also be introduced to more than 200 different types of touring bicycles made in various countries all over the world.

From this list of 200+ bicycles,  I will help them narrow down this massive selection and find the touring bicycle that will help to make their bicycle touring dreams come true.

More info on the book can be found here.

The new and improved “Ultimate Guide To Free Lodging” is here!

Well over a year ago I released a 100-page book that I designed to help bicycle travelers get free hotels and campgrounds for their travels. I thought the book would be a hugely popular item with readers at my site, but the sales have been slow.

After much thought, I decided that the problem was twofold. First of all, the book was aimed at bicycle travelers only – an incredibly small populus to market to. Secondly, I did a poor job of describing exactly what the Free Lodging Guide was, so people didn’t understand exactly what they were buying.

So I’ve recently gone through the entire book, taken out all the bicycle touring information and re-branded the book for travelers in general. I’ve also redesigned the cover of the book to make it appear more modern and inviting… and I’ve reworked the sales page so as to better describe the content of the book and what can be gained by reading it.

More information on the new and improved version of “The Ultimate Guide To Free Lodging” can be found on my website at BicycleTouringPro.com.

It was well over a year ago that the first version of the “Blueprint” was released. Since that time, I have sold hundreds of copies and it has consistently remained the #1 best-seller on my website at BicycleTouringPro.com.

This new version of the book not only has a new cover (which more accurately portrays the young, modern, lifestyle driven type of bike travel I have been promoting on my website), but it also contains of a lot more information. This new version of the book is 160 full pages long, but if it were printed out in traditional book format it would be more than 320 pages in length.

Today, I’m happy to announce that The Social Media Schools Master Course is finally live!

It’s only the first day of the launch, but I’ve already received a number of sign-ups and I’m excited to start working with the schools who have registered for the course.

The course starts today, but schools wishing to receive this information in the future can sign up at any time after today’s date. They just sign up for the course and then work through the material at their own speed. And if they need any assistance, I’m here to answer their questions and support them in their quest for social media success.

For the past few months I’ve been building a strong following at SocialMediaSchools.com. I built the site a few months ago after consulting with a school in Southern California and quickly thereafter realized that the work I was doing was something that schools around the world could benefit from.

In an attempt to get more schools to jump on the social media bandwagon, I’ve produced a digital report I am now calling “The Social Media Schools Education & Technology Manifesto”… and I’m giving it away for FREE!

The report walks you through the biggest questions and concerns many schools have in regards to social media use and gives you some of my ideas on the future of technology in the education field. The information contained inside the report is based on my past two years of social media use/research and is designed to give schools around the world a sense of the incredible power social media can have in the future as a means of communicating with, educating and inspiring the people in their local community.

You can get your very own complimentary copy of The Social Media Schools Education & Technology Manifesto emailed to you right now by visiting this page and simply entering your name and email address in the form you find there. Enjoy!
