January 1 sounds like a good time to start a bicycle tour, or turn your life around, or, if you’re Robert Hollandsworth, to do both.<\/p>\n
Robert started his Cycle for Life bicycle tour<\/a> from Houston on Thursday and plans to keep cyclo-touring the US with no end in sight. He’ll survive on $200 a month from his family and whatever donations he gets from playing his guitar and tuning pianos along the way.<\/p>\n His trip is no spur-of-the-moment New Year’s resolution. Robert’s been planning this trip for several years with advice from experienced touring bicyclists at the Internet Bicycle Touring List<\/a>. At his website, he writes:<\/p>\n “Now, after two years of more wishing than dreaming that I could just pedal off into the sunrise and let go of all the ‘issues’ of the past and begin a brand new life, I finally quit my job this month, gave my\u00c2\u00a0vehicle back to the bank, made the rounds to see my family for Christmas<\/span>, and transported my gear to Houston, TX to begin my Cycle For Life Tour.”<\/p>\n Go to www.bikingbis.com<\/strong><\/a> for more about Robert and his ride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 1 sounds like a good time to start a bicycle tour, or turn your life around, or, if you’re Robert Hollandsworth, to do both.
