Pedaling from Waukesha around the world

This article is part of a series

I was impressed by the latest report of my adventures in the Waukesha Freeman. (Update: This article has been archived.) The journalist was really passionate in his questioning and accurate in his reporting. He highlighted all the main points. And I think really captured the vibe of my whole journey. So, thanks to Carl Engelking.

As pictured above the article spawned my recent book signing at Martha Merrell’s bookstore in Waukesha, WI. Falling Uphill was selling like hotcakes to an Eskimo. When I was a young teenager, I used to special order all my sci-fi books here.

Also, This Friday, July 17th, I’ll be on the Morning Blend TV show in Milwaukee.
