No, this is not my bike!! Although the name "boneshaker" rocks! I'm sure anyone willing enough to test ride this bike across the grand U.S. of A. would testify the bike is true to its name. Call it like it is - Boneshaker!
A year ago, the MN Historical Society had an exhibit on the evolution of transportation here in America. Check out some of these photos -
Oh boy! I am thankful the perspective of women cycling has changed since 1895... (Sidenote: I would love to read the study that determined that cycling was the "#1 reason...")
Some may believe cycling across the United States may still be considered "reckless" or according to my cousin Dan, "insane". However, in the pursuit of this life long goal (whether it is "insane" or not), I consider myself blessed to have the opportunity to support the American Lung Association! This organization is striving to create positive change and improve the quality of life of all those living with lung disease. In addition, the ALA is working to promote clean air for all!
