Around 4-6pm today (8/10), I saw and EBD as I was 50-ish miles outside of Yuma and could have SWORN I saw someone squatting down on an IM there. Was wondering if my eyes didn’t deceive me and if it was anyone on here haha

Fellow Americans, what if I told you I discovered a place more beautiful than San Francisco, with better weather than LA, more drug legalization than Portland, a place where you can drink publicly like in New Orleans, and cheaper than Kansas City? Sounds too good to be true, right? Hey all, I...

Ok y'all, I'm putting some feelers out on his early. I have this romantic Kerouac-esque plan to hitch across the country this spring, then set up home base in 4 cities I very much enjoy for a season each to experience something other than Brooklyn, where I've lived my whole life. Portland...

While my back is currently fucked up and I can't move around too much, I thought I would take the time to talk about my little bike trip through New England from two years ago. After biking around the Greater New York City area a lot, I decided it was time to expand my horizons and see some...

America's largest city, population-wise, and possibly the most diverse in the world. We've had around 8 million residents for nearly the past century, with people constantly flowing in and out. Weather can be fairly cold in the winter, fairly hot and humid in the summer, rainy and windy in the...

Obviously it's best to be housed up, but where else do y'all prefer if that's not possible? I'm partial to rooftops since I can climb better than most people and no one will fuck with me or find me there. Otherwise, a little bit out in the woods or anywhere off the side of the road is usually a...

I'm considering taking my guitar on my long journey this summer. On the one hand, I would have a means of making money along the way and some form of entertainment that would keep me busy for hours of waiting around. On the other hand, I would be a lot more limited with the rides (freight and...

This summer, I flew to Vancouver, BC with the intention of cycling to Tijuana (which was accomplished). However, I was not interested in a direct route from A to B. I wanted to pass through every major city (300,000+ people and not a suburb), as well as other spots that piqued my interest...

My pack Technically, I've done smaller, more local short line runs before this, but in essence I've only had two "major" rides - Newark - Allentown, and now this one, North NJ to wherever. I could have gone as far west as Chicago, as far south as Florida, or nowhere at all if I was really...

Hey all, I know a lot of us are pretty well traveled here and I'm curious to get a ranking of everyone's top 5/bottom 5 states, and hopefully some reasons for why those states made your ranking there. My top 5 (in no particular order): California - What can I say? From mountains to beaches to...

Gather 'round the bonfire, because this story will take a while to tell. Good for a read if you're waiting. I need to kill some time while waiting for my train, so I thought I'd take a little time to tell you about my journey out West last year. Note: This story will have some West/East...

Here's a map of the tours I've done throughout the Northeast in the past 6 years. Draw your maps showing your bike travels if you'd like!

Hey all, Longtime adventurer, first time poster. In the past couple of years, my interests have evolved from exploring abandoned areas and climbing things to riding trains and bicycle touring. What's cool is that each new interest builds on previous skills I've had. See y'all on

What's something that you wish you had brought on your last bike tour but forgot to bring? Alternatively, what's something you've brought along that you wish you hadn't?

Hey everyone, Last summer while exploring the West Coast, I met a really dope fellow train rider named Jarvis around June and I never got his contact info. We spent the night in a boxcar in the Roseville yard before I had to dip to SLC. Dark skin and an afro, kind of looked like Childish...
