Mid-Life Crisis on Wheels
"a bicycle journey around the world"

The true gift of long-term travel, especially by bicycle, is not the wonderful places you see or the incredible people you meet, though those are great benefits. The true gift is time. Time to reconsider every choice of the past and every dream of the future.
 
Mid-Life Crisis on Wheels is a moment of downshifting, of seeing the world, and finding truth.
I owned the corporate ladder, half partner in a lean, sleek consulting firm working in information engineering and computer systems design right up to the Fortune 100. I had the nice Seattle house with a view, I had the job, I traveled to three cities a week, and I had the dreams.
 
Six months later, the career was a bust, I couldn't afford to keep the house, and the dreams were in tatters. My solution appeared obvious at the time: I sold house, car, furniture, and clothes, climbed on my bicycle, and waved goodbye to my friends.
