t’s no ordinary summer vacation. Imagine loading up the family for a 7,000 mile trek from Kentucky to Alaska. but not in the mini-van. On a bicycle built for 5. The Pedouin family is already on their way.
“Well, why? Because so many people shelve their dreams and we’ve had a dream of traveling. And we’re just blue collar folk and uh, I had a small business doing home repair and remodeling and still keeping very busy despite the downturn in the economy. And we just talked to a lot of people and they got old and never lived their dreams. and we love to do our dreams, and my wife loves to ride bikes and so we put it together, why don’t we travel by bike. and we’re going to fairbanks because I was there for 2 summers and enjoyed it and she wants to see what it is like,” says Amarins of of the five on the bike.

I was at Deharts store in Auke Bay Alaska when you cycled by this morning. Wish I would have had my camera with me! I was so impressed that I had to look up your bike online and found this site! Was awesome to see you and good luck on your journey.
