Follow Michael and Stephanie as they pedal their way across small-town America on a fully-loaded tandem bicycle. Trans-continental rides are commonplace today, hundreds of cyclists of all ages complete them every year, but attempting one on a bicycle build for two throws a whole new monkey wrench into the equation (and marriage)!

Around every curve of the mostly country roads they follow reveals a new vista and lesson in the geography and history of our very diverse nation. Full of never before told tips, logistics, and advice from now very-well seasoned bicycle tourists, this lighthearted and humorous journal will inspire you to spread those maps out on the kitchen table, lube up that chain and slap on some butt butter. Whether planning a trip of your own, reliving your own dream ride, or just settling into the recumbent La-Z-Boy for an arm-chair adventure, youll be entertained by anecdotes of all the people and places they meet along the way.

From the almost burlesque show races and creative performances of the 19th century to the evolution of cycling as a modern sport and form of transportation, April Streeter brings her exuberant eye for character, fashion, and story to convey the evolving emotional resonance of bicycling for women and their communities. Interweaving pedal-powered history with profiles of bicyclists who made their mark, like Katharine Hepburn, Annie Londonderry, Kittie Knox, Dorothy Lawrence, Louise Armaindo, and more.

Come along on a bicycle built for two for this double tale of a KHS Tandemania Roma tandem bicycle to take you the length of the Mississippi River from the Canadian Border to the Gulf of Mexico then from Coast to Coast from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The seat belts couldn't be fastened because there aren't any. The only proper precaution is to look out for cars, and have bike helmets on. The country is out there for you to see. But you have to slow down from 70 mph to 10 to 15 mph if you want to see it all. That is, if you want to smell the flowers plus the pig manure scent wafting through the air. America is out there, it is just a case of knowing how to find it. I think we have found it.
