Adventure Cycling is one of the greatestnonprofits in the world. One would be pressed tofind a more economical way to find adventurethan to get a map, point to a spot, load the bike
up and roll. The slower one moves on a trip, themore beautiful things one sees.

During this economic crisis we have heard a lotabout people getting back to basics. Fromgardening, to carpooling and bicycling, to swapmeets and barter, to mending clothes andappliances instead of throwing them out and buyingnew, people are rediscovering traditional values of
frugality and community. The unanswered questionis how much of this will stick once the economyrecovers and people find themselves feeling a bitflush.
