Malcolm's Bicycle-Trip Across the Continent
Some time ago, Malcolm crossed the continent by bicycle, before it was as common as nowadays. He did it alone, and unsupported, for a total distance of approximately 3,402 miles.
This was done in the spirit of a true adventure, braving not only harsh desert conditions (and lack of water), but at one point saving his life by fending off the attack of a pack of wild dogs in a lonely, remote location where no one would have known if he had perished.
Here is the map of his entire trip:

We are in the process of building a web-site to do that remarkable trip justice (and he does have a lot of pictures from the trip).
This web-site is still under-construction, but here are the maps and pictures (so far) of each section of the trip. Click on each of the links to see them. Narrative will be added soon.
The West Coast of Oregon to Idaho
Through The State Of Utah, and the Extended Stay in Salt Lake City
Through Pennsylvania And Maryland
Through The State Of New Jersey
In the meantime, we have this newspaper account of the trip below, to tell of the trip.
