On October 27th, 2007 I sat down at my computer and wrote what would become the first article in a series of hundreds (and potentially thousands) of articles, videos, and interviews on the topics of bicycle touring, world travel, and lifestyle design.

That night, I started a website called www.BicycleTouringPro.com, which has since turned into my largest and most successful Internet project to date. Now, exactly two years later, there are more than 320 unique articles, videos, and interviews on the site – each of which is read by more than 15,000 people each month from locations around the world.

This past year my travels by bike took me to Europe, where I spent nine months slowly making my way through 16 amazing countries. While in Europe, I was able to continue working and published an astounding 180 additional articles for BicycleTouringPro.com.

As of today, Bicycle Touring Pro has approximately:

• 15,500 Monthly Readers
• 2,073 Email Subscribers
• 1,109 Twitter Followers
• 299 Facebook Fans

While I’m happy with the progress being made at BicycleTouringPro.com, I still have a lot I want to do. I have some big plans for the site in 2010 and I hope that by this time next year my statistics have more than doubled.

The June ’09 issue of Xsport Magazine features a 12-page article I wrote about my 45-day journey by bike up the East Coast of the United States.

The article is an important piece because it places me and other bicycle travelers in the same category as athletes participating in outdoor activities like kayaking, windsurfing, skydiving, rollerblading and skateboarding.
