28 days on a Walmart bicycle... about $400 total from Leesville, SC to Abilene, TX...Only bike repair was getting new tubes. Didn't spend a single night in a hotel. $300 on food (estimate), $50 on batteries for my toys and GPS unit, $30 on 4 tubes... If I wasn't addicted to gas store sodas, i could have spent less.

I donated the bike to charity at the end of the tour and took the greyhound back.
