F*** Impossible: Bike Travel Adventures for All

Have you ever wanted to bike, camp overnight, and just keep going? Join The Recyclery for a presentation on bike touring from Mary Ann Thomas, who has bicycled across North America and India. She will share stories from the road, demystify logistics and costs and help you figure out how to make your dream bike trip happen. Mary Ann Thomas is the queer brown daughter of Indian immigrant parents, a travel nurse, bike tourist and writer. She has lived and worked in Washington DC, NYC, Anchorage, San Francisco, San Diego and Cooperstown.

Her writing has been featured in numerous literary and travel platforms, and her bike travel has been featured on several podcasts, including the Dirtbag Diaries.
