the freedom life

Laura was the first and only solo female touring cyclist I met on my trip, and I was her first too. Lest you think I’m badass, this girl finished a ride across Australia and decided she wasn’t ready to go back home to France yet, so she flew to L.A. and biked to New York City, by way of Michigan.

“This is my first tour,” I told her.

“Do you like it?” she asked.

“I love this life.”

She nodded and smiled. "This is the freedom life.”
