Every month Bike Friday sends out an email to their customer list profiling one of the people riding their bicycles. The August 2009 issue of Bike Friday’s “Travel Story Of The Month” featured me, Darren Alff, and my little red folding bike on our 9-month trip through central and eastern Europe.

The piece consists of a long testimonial I wrote for the company about how my Bike Friday New World Tourist has saved me time and time again when traveling on boats and trains in Europe. Additionally, I talk about how the little red folding bike has been able to handle some incredibly rough/diverse terrain and how, while I had never planned on taking the bike on such an extended trip, it has performed far better than I ever expected it to.

An article I wrote about the subject of stealth camping was just published in the latest issue of XSport Magazine.

The August ’09 issue of XSport features pieces on skateboarding, endurance racing, and now… stealth camping!

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.
