Bicycle Lifestyle Web Event Recap – Day 2
November 23, 2008 by Darren Alff
Well, the Bicycle Lifestyle Web Event has come to an end. Thank you for being a part of the event and I hope you learned something… or at least has a little fun!
In case you missed any of the information that was released today, here’s a quick recap:
-
Ted Schredd started the day off with an excerpt from his book, Gramma Knows The F Word, all about how adults can discover more fun in their lives.
-
Neil Gunton from CrazyGuyOnABike.com gave you an introduction to long distance bicycle travel.
-
And the guys from WarmShowers.org discussed some of the free lodging options that traveling cyclists have available to them.
-
Then I conducted an interview with Amy Walker from Momentum Magazine about bicycle fashion.
-
And talked to Lee Gilbert from CycleAware about the shared responsibility that drivers and cyclists have in regards to keeping our streets safe.
-
Continuing the theme of bicycle safety, Road ID submitted an article about the importance of identification for bicyclists.
-
Yaro Stak talked about blogging and how this technique of making money off the Internet can give you the freedom to travel the world and pursue the things you really want in life… and not have to sacrafice your income in order to do those things.
-
And finally, I finished the night with a streaming video broadcast where I talked about bicycle touring and answered questions live over the Internet. 222 people tuned in for the show. It was a lot of fun and I hope those who joined the conversation learned something.
In between all of this, we also gave away a number of great cycling products. CycleAware gave away three mirros and their Wand-A safety wand. I gave away a copy of “The Ultimate Guide To Free Lodging” – a workbook that walks you step-by-step through the process of obtaining free hotels and campgrounds for your travels. Road ID donated 3 gift certificates for any of their ID products. And Lone Peak donated a rack pack to one lucky individual.

Finally, this is your last chance to get a copy of the “The Bicycle Traveler’s Blueprint” for the reduced price of just $14.95. The book takes you by the hand and walks you through the process of planning your own bicycle adventure. The book has been discounted for this weekend… and this weeend only. So if you want to grab a copy, just click here.
As I mentioned during my live video broadcast, this is the end of the Bicycle Lifestyle event, but this is not the end of the great content here at BicycleTouringPro.com. I will continue to post new and exciting articles about bicycle travel… and I will take you with me on my upcoming journey to Europe as I travel around on my bicycle for the next six months. I’ll show you how I planned my trip, raised the money, and a number of other things. I’ll even be showing you what I am spending my money on, so you will have a better idea of how much these grand biking adventures actually cost.
If you haven’t done so already, go back and check out any of the articles or interviews you may have missed today… and thank you for participating in the first ever, Bicycle Touring Pro Lifestyle Web Event.
If you enjoyed the event, please leave a comment below… and let me know how I could improve it if I were to do it again at some point in the future.
Thank you once again for being a part of the community here at BicycleTouringPro.com and I’ll talk with you later!
Make it a great week!
