In May 2019, I travelled from Los Angeles to New York by bike. For an entire month, me and my road bike thundered across mountains, deserts, steppes, highways and through forests, for no particular reason. Or, I like to think I did it for science - under the pretense of figuring out: Is this a good idea? The answer to this question would be 'not particularily', but it was a good experience nevertheless! The ride totalled 5.763 km (3.581 miles), over the course of 30 days on the bike, and two rest days.
