I do hope that you enjoy your visit here. For those who have visited this website before, you will probably find some additions and changes since your last visit. One of the immediate changes is a brand new logo. With the tenth anniversary of this website on October 19th, 2008, I decided to change the logo slightly by including a recumbent bicycle instead of an upright bicycle. I made the transition of traveling around on a recumbent instead of an upright bicycle back in 2000.
This website has been given almost 440 awards from agencies, individuals, ministries, and organizations from 27 countries around the world. There is almost 1000 pages of information inside using almost 700 MegaBytes of space. Here are some
comments
that readers have sent me. For website award program evaluators, here is a special
message
for you. To check out what is new on the website, check out

As mentioned on the "HOME" page, navigation throughout the site should be quite easy for you. There is a pretty extensive Site Map Menu and the website has it's own search engine. At the bottom of each page there are navigation arrows that will help you navigate through the almost 1,000 pages on this website. There is also a button at the bottom of each page that will allow you to jump to the top of that page without scrolling.
Each chapter (section) has an index page. Before you check out the individual chapters (sections), would you please check out the two introduction pages after this page. The first "intro" page shows stats for my missionary travels by bicycle. On the second "intro" page, four of the newest website awards that this site has been given are displayed.
To find information about my "missionary travels by bicycle" around the United States please go to "Bike Journey". Since 1993, I have ridden 196,135.85 miles (313,816.08 KM) as of August 31, 2009.
My 19th mission trip started on Monday, March 23rd and ended on Monday, August 31st. I wanted to be on the road March 27th, which would be the 16th anniversary of my ministry (February 19 was actually the 16th anniversary of the start of this adventure on two wheels). The trip was 7,383 miles (11,812 KM) long and it took me through thirty states and the District of Columbia.

Subject Matter of website: bicycle touring for the beginner; my personal testimony; the 16 years of travel with my ministry promoting social action (expressing one's religious beliefs through personal action) and voluntarism; the prevention of child sexual exploitation on the internet; and religion (in a non-threatening manner that includes help guidelines for prayer and a place to post prayers).
To get a better understanding on who I am, what I am doing, how it all started, and what is my message in a brief form, here is the handout flyer that I give out. Since I first started handing them out in 2003, I estimate that I passed out 4,000+ handouts (this doesn't count the ones that ushers handed out at churches). The handout flyer is supposed to be 2-sided and tri-folded. This flyer covers the 28 most asked questions. Information is current to August 31, 2009.
The flyer is distributed here in PDF format (44 KBytes). You need Adobe Reader to view it. If you don't have Adobe Reader installed on your computer, here is a link to a download site.
