Seeing America Slowly
A couple of weeks ago I hosted a Zoom event with my neighbor Alan Wright who just fulfilled his lifelong dream of cycling cross-country. He started his solo trip on May 22 in Boston and completed the journey on August 5 in Seaside, Oregon. He used his trip to bring awareness to climate change and raise funds for the Boston cycling nonprofit Bikes Not Bombs. Alan rode more than 4,200 miles over 73 days. That was only half the trip. After riding across the country, Alan saw America from another vantage point: he rode Amtrak from Oregon home to Boston. Alan talks about his trip in his presentation “Seeing America Slowly.”
