Quick, Overnight Bicycle Touring

Another post from the summer of 2008 pulled over from our other site.

Here’s yet another curious thing about we Americans. We love things to be instant. We buy a lot of “instant” food; we get mad when our downloaded content does not instantly start; and we demand instant service from every service provider. Why is it that we don’t want our vacations and recreation to be instant?

When it comes to vacations, we wait in lines at airports, drive for two days, wait at the gates of campgrounds behind a long line of RV campers, we even order our tickets a full year in advance at “Reserveamerica.com.”

The s24o might the healthiest form of INSTANT gratification in America (and the world, of course). Open door, get on bike, turn cranks — adventure in an instant.
