A Family on Bikes Travels the World on Bicycles

We believe in the power of bicycling! Touring by bicycle is an incredible way to get to know a country and her people. But more than that, it is a way to get to know yourself, to figure out who you are and what you hope to become.

And traveling on bikes with your family is an even more incredible, more rewarding experience. You see the world through the eyes of your child, and experience life in the fresh, uninhibited manner of children. Children have a way of worming their way into the hearts of others, and you will be richly rewarded for your efforts!

The five of us (Mom, Dad, ten-year-old twin boys, and a dog) are bicycling from Alaska to Argentina. When we reach the southernmost tip of South America, Davy and Daryl will become the new Guinness World Record holders as the youngest people to cycle the Pan-American Highway!

Our journey through the Americas is different from anything we have done to date. The major difference is that this trip is not just about us – we will endeavor to share our experiences with school kids, so that they can learn about our wonderful world. We are volunteering our time with Reach the World, an educational 501(3)(c) non-profit organization with the mission of linking students in under-funded schools to online, global expeditions . These expeditions have the power to expand learning beyond the four walls of the classroom. We are linked to RTW's classrooms via RTW's interactive website and live Internet chats. We are thrilled about the possibilities! If you are able, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the cause. When making a donation, please specify "Family on Bikes" in the Description field

Here's a press release you can distribute

Want to help us on the journey?

There are a number of ways you can help us bring the world to under-privileged children.

By making a tax-deductible donation to RTW, you will help pay for some of our expenses directly related to the journey - such as internet costs, entrance fees for parks/museums, and/or plane tickets to New York to visit the classrooms. All donations to RTW in our name will go directly to the NYC program we are volunteering with.
Alternatively, you can donate directly to us for other, day-to-day expenses.
Another way you can help is by purchasing items from vendors advertised on our site. If you click on a link on this website to a company and purchase anything from them, we will get a small percentage of the sale.

Thank you for helping us bring the world to children in New York City!
