VIRTUAL: Bicycling, Birding, and #BLM across America in a Summer of Chaos

During summer 2020, I undertook a 76-day, ~3800 mile bicycle trip across the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, encountering extraordinary people, landscapes, and birds as I wheeled my way through towns on the brink of collapse, Native American lands, and vast private ranches. Witnessing people’s reactions to #BlackLivesMatter and other pressing issues taught me about the forces causing division in this country and how we can mend them.
