Hey FTW13Iowa
Iowa has great people who mostly look out for bikes, which is nice. Have you heard of ragbrai? Any plans for making part or all of it? I got to ride 2 days on it last year and I was absolutely blown away! So many people riding and having fun. I just brought my bed roll and panniers but some people go all out and have tour buses following from stop to stop, quite the sight to see.
See you on the streets
