Bikes: It's complicated.

Every once in awhile I check crazyguyonabike.com. There are people still doing expedition touring. I'm wondering what happens when they get to NY state. Do they quarantine for 14 days after they cross the border?

oddjob2 My Barista mentioned this to me this morning, I am the bike guy regular at the shop and have worked on her bike in the past. Thanks for sharing this -great read.

In 1992 I traveled around the country in a VW pop top camper not quite the same as a bike tour but I did see about 30 states lots of natural beauty and interesting places and people.Broke down, encountered kind strangers, I often forget many folks haven't been out of their county or state.
