"That guy, he's definitely crazy." In Florida, a stranger voiced what many people thought of Paul Stutzman's plan to ride a bicycle, alone from the extreme northwest corner of the United States to the southern tip of Key West, Florida. The idea was born during Stutzman's through-hike of the Appalachian Trail, when he spent a Fourth of July observing small-town family scenes on front porches and lawns, and then began to wonder about the stories of families across the country. He decided he wanted to meet America. Two years later the adventure begins, and Paul Stutzman starts pedaling the long journey from one corner of the country to opposite corner. He encounters people in all circumstances and is greeted by both kindness and rudeness. As he rolls (and sometimes pushes) through the diverse landscapes of this country, he watches America at work, at church, at play.
