Well, probably a tad bit longer than that.
Anyway, for some reason word and wit fail me at the moment, so I’m just going to list some websites that have been a source of information and inspiration (and logistics planning):
crazyguyonabike.com – great resource of experience and stories.
instructables.com – lots of DIY stuff that can be applied to bikes.
vwvagabonds.com – check out their “cycling through Asia” stories.
couchsurfing.org – self explanatory.
Over the past [insert number of months here since I posted this], I’ve been running at least 2 miles per day, but for the most part I’ve been throwing on my daypack with about 10-20 lbs. of stuff and just WALK.
I’m having fun with it shrugs
