Hello,

I am a Junior at the university of vermont attempting a research project that will take me biking across the US this summer. Along the way I am looking at environmentalism/sustainability as a social change movement and seeing how far along in the movement we are. I plan take about 90 days this summer conducting interviews and surveys along the way in addition to my observations.

I am here to get advice on locations, routes, anything that would sound like it pertains to what I am doing. My main concern is biking a route that will take me through an obvious transition of demographics. Do you think the adventure cycling routes would be sufficient?

Any support is good.

I'm not familiar with these adventure cycling routes you're referring to, but if you're going to be near the Ozarks, I can refer you to a couple who have an interesting set-up in Ava, Mo.

You might want to check in to the Touring forum.

Welcome, and best of fortune on your upcoming adventure.

mmm I think I might end up farther north than Avo but if I am around there I will let you know. Thanks

You may want to ask around in RE forums like Fieldlines https://www.fieldlines.com/ for people that would let you see their setups.. as far as what route to take? Does it matter? You sound like your project would be best off with a mix of things.

Thanks, this is a great site! As far as the route goes, I will need to encounter the metropolitan areas and subsequently everything in between
