I work at a university that's on the Transamerica Trail. When I see bike tourists, I try to return the friendliness and hospitality that meant so much to me on my various tours. Just last week, I bumped into two retired Brits who were cycling the Trail and took them out for coffee. They spoke glowingly of the many small acts of kindness from people they'd met along the way.
