Some people think of bicycles as an occasional way to get around. For Palo Altan Martin Krieg they’re far more: a full-time mode of transportation and his ticket across the United States.
On May 3, he will begin a 4,000-mile bicycle ride from Palo Alto to Boston, Mass. — his third cross-nation bike trip. In 1979, he rode a standard upright bike and in 1986 a recumbent bike. He will pass through 25 cities that he hopes someday will become links in a national bikeway.
But it’s not just any bike he will be riding. With a design that harkens back to the 19th century, his 1891 HiWheel Eagle has a small wheel in the front and a really large one in back — a reverse of the better-known Pennyfarthing bicycle that Krieg has been riding around Palo Alto for years.

It looks like the schedule is sliding, the dates are not being updated on the web site. Anyway Martin is on his way to Salt Lake City, we should have a better idea on his arrival as he gets closer.
