sixtyfourdays.com and BTBH, Part 4

This week, a very personal bicycle travel story involving cyclists and a group of young filmmakers, plus the last of Biking Through Black History.

sixtyfourdays.com is a behind-the-scenes video series shot during the filming of the documentary film for thousands of miles in the summer of 2007. Personal and romantic snapshots of the film crew, and the bicyclists that they follow cross-country, mix with narration that details their filmmaking process and the unexpected sites, and beautiful struggles, of a bike trip across America. Part 4 was special to us with rich glimpses of Glacier and other parts of Montana.

If you're feeling inspired to chart your own transformative bicycling journey, you may want to check out some of the mapped cycling routes that we've created. The long days of summer are almost upon us! And, if you do take off on an adventure along one of our routes, consider sharing your photos with our Route Network flickr group.

Now to wrap it up, in the fourth (and last) segment of Biking Through Black History, WPXI looks at the dynamics of touring, what you need for a day ride on the route, and Dr. Thomas describes his inspiration for joining (and succeeding) on the 2007 inaugural tour.
