Greetings from Brooklyn, NY!
Ok, the question I see most often is whether or not a woman can cycle across the USA by herself. I have to admit, I do feel that there could be situations that would put me at risk. I'd never dream of biking without pepper spray, and I would make sure by like, 7pm I had secured a safe place to camp out (worst case, motels). I come across a lot of women who want the freedom of biking, especially since it's hard to find someone who can take 5 weeks off starting this July '07.
I know that I will get answers I don't want to see, the "Don't do it!" approach, which I get from family and friends. I want to know...are there any ladies out there who managed this feat without being the target of a maniac(s)?
Man, I REALLY would love to do this...I appreciate any comments, honsety a PLUS.
