The following is a journal of my cross-country trek (on a bike) with the organization Bike and Build in the summer of 2008. Anyone interested in knowing more about the B&B experience should visit bikeandbuild.org . Also, you can contact me by email with further questions: kehill@email.unc.edu
"I figured when people would ask me about what I was doing this summer I would be able to say 'Oh, yeah I'm riding across the country' instead of something lame like working or sitting around. Sometimes I wonder who's laughing now."
"Did you buy anything at the market, Craig?" "No, I didn't have any place to put it." "What about in your duck?" "Nah, that's only good for popcorn."
"Craig, say something funny." "We're riding across the country."
"And I thought 'I am a cyclist now.'" -on thinking he had hit 50 mph when really his biking computer was way off
"40% of the reason I'm doing this trip is for the shock value."
"All I am able to think about right now is Johnny Depp." -on visiting an old colonial ship on Lake Erie
"I was so happy because I thought I was in my own bed during the night. Then I woke up and found myself here; it was a bad day."
"West of the Mississippi, the shit's hitting the fan."
