I've volunteered for the state parks, Tree People, and similar organizations. Over the course of my life, I've probably traveled more miles on a bike than I've driven. I once followed the route of an ancient Roman road, the Appian Way, across half of Italy on a bike. It took me almost 2 weeks and I'm...
