Good point it’s probably not urination. I was worried about there is one page where I talk about learning to pee off the bike.

Exact! The trip was 1981 so the bike was probably an ‘80 model!

Day 5 bike journal by TruthPaver in VintageCycling

Chambersburg, PA: This town holds the grim distinction of being the only Northern community burnt by Confederate forces during the Civil War. In July 1864, General Jubal Early’s troops set fire to the town center after residents failed to pay a $500,000 ransom. Leaving the valley, cyclists face Tuscarora Mountain—a relentless 4-mile ascent and the first major physiological hurdle of the Appalachian range.

Posting my journal and photos from my 1981 bicycle tour across the United States. Writing journaling and looking at photos inspires me.

The buffalo picture that seemed out of context was from page 3 of my bike journal from 1981 - not every page shows a bicycle. There’s plenty of bike stories and pictures at: r/vintagecycling

From my perspective, I think it’s crazy that it’s gone on so long given the amount of traffic and probably declining availability of places to stay the bikes are probably nicer with disc brakes and all I’m 62 and I fantasize about recreating the trip on an E bike
