A bicycle journey across the American West
Try vegan
please
One rider. One loaded touring bike. Thousands of miles of open road — carrying a gentle message town by town. This is where the conversation continues: thoughtful resources, considered goods, and a way to keep the journey rolling.
01 — Resources
Curious? Start here.
No guilt, no gatekeeping. Just a handful of honest, beginner-friendly resources for anyone who's ever thought, even quietly, that they might try.
02 — From the road
Latest field note.
Dispatches from the saddle — posted whenever there's signal and a story worth telling.
“Day 1,204. Outside Portland, a trucker pulled over to ask about the ride. We talked for an hour at a gas station. He said he'd start with Meatless Mondays. That's how it moves — one conversation at a time.”

This is an independent, self-funded ride across the American West — no nonprofit, no sponsors, no marketing budget. Just one rider, a loaded touring bike, and a message carried mile by mile through the towns most people drive past. Your support buys oatmeal, patch kits, campsite fees, and the next stretch of road. It buys one more mile, one more conversation, one more quiet invitation.
