5 Lessons From Biking Across America

Cycling lessons from my 2nd bike across America tour. Recap...
1. Orange and light blue Powerade makes an odd olive green color, and it's pretty good. :)
2. Use Bontrager hard case tires with 700 x 28c - 32c tubes.
3. There are benefits to promoting a charity.
4. People will give if you ask.
5. Bring bike lights for tunnels.

You really think possible to raise money? Because i have the heart and dedication to ride across America, but no money :/ Its my dream!

There called thorn tubes the width doesn't matter, run proper pressure pinch flats are what happens when you don't, pump your tires every day! road tires will loose 5-8PSI a day its very important to keep your psi up, bontrager tires are ok but conti gator skins are the best touring tire bar none no question.

How did you come up with the budget of approx $5000, and how did you make it last for the entire trip?
