Last week I wrote about three pairs of bicycle travelers who are documenting stories of people and places along their respective cycling routes. This week I was happy to stumble upon NPR's campaign for the National Day of Listening on November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving.
Its website suggests, "On the day after Thanksgiving, set aside one hour to record a conversation with someone important to you. You can interview anyone you choose: an older relative, a friend, a teacher, or someone from the neighborhood."
Discussions about family lore, exciting mishaps on the bicycle tour of a lifetime, the people and places wedged into their hearts because they serendipitously encountered them right when they needed them most...
Time for reflection and conversation: what a beautiful way to give thanks.
If you capture a bicycle-travel story that you'd like to share with us (in audio or video format), post a link in the comments below, or send the file or link to press AT adventurecycling DOT org (please put "bike travel story" in the subject line).
Happy holiday!
