Any cyclists on Clutchfans? I'm riding my bike across America.

I don't reckon you will be living off the land? However that is quite the feat without training.

 

You're not doing it for heroin money are you?

i know people who have done stuff like this - they were all very experienced riders and the stories i heard were full of unexpected difficulties. even your bike repair skills would have to be pretty advanced. not saying you couldnt do it, but did you consider that you might be straight trippin?

 

Sounds awesome.

Are you doing this alone or with other riders?

 

How many of you will be making the journey? Don't forget to stock up them ipod breh. May I suggest "The final countdown" instrumental or "Eye of the tiger" on an infinite loop so your whole trip will feel epic.

I assume you don't have a 9-5 job and can take time off at will. Envy becomes of me.

 

ride or die.

 

RIP in peace jacoby.

 

Jacoby Herman?....hmm not bad...

Spoiler

Seriously though since you don't have much experience with long distance riding, perhaps a bike with a motor might be a wise choice. It would be good to have as a back-up, in case of an emergency. I'm jealous! Good Luck!

If you're going to be taking pictures , make sure you represent!


GO ROCKETS!!!

 

Over/under on piss breaks?

1896?

 

Where will you sleep?

Where will you charge your phone?

How will you do live updates for your charity pics?

Are you capable of biking on interstates?

 

Can we take some action on this? I'm going to bet that you do not accomplish this feat.

People that do heroin don't accomplish much unless there is a guitar in their hand.

 

I would not attempt that by yourself.

btw: You can do this in an organized group. Here's one. http://www.bikingbis.com/cross-country-bicycle-tours/ you can search for others.

 

Dude be careful if I learned anything from Oregon trail, it's to be prepared.

 

It should be a great experience. And really it shouldn't be that hard to do. Bikes are an extremely efficient way to get around.

 

So you're starting your trip right when the playoffs begin? For shame.

 

Is this all just to get out of the house cuz you're afraid of your mom's cat?

 

I don't know anything about actual touring, but you'd be looking at a touring bike. They're usually steel for reliability and its ability to absorb road bumps. They have a more upright riding position so you can churn the miles away. They also have all the nooks and crannies so you can mount fenders and a crazy amount of baggage.

The most popular touring bike is probably the Surly Long Haul Trucker, but this is something you'll want to test ride, and that all depends on the brands carried by your local dealers.
