A week ago Monday I wrote a post about a dozen Cranksgiving bike rides rolling out around the U.S. this month to collect Thanksgiving items for local food banks.

So far, 16 U.S. states have put 3-foot passing laws on the books to protect bicycle riders.

Some of us might consider a bicycle touring trip from the tip of South Africa to Saudi Arabia as the ultimate extreme adventure.
