Jason Allen: 8500km on a Solo Bicycle Tour Across the U.S.A

Seek Travel Ride

In this episode of the Seek Travel Ride podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jason Allen. In 2019, at the age of 20, Jason packed his bicycle with touring equipment and set off from his home in Wisconsin with a mission to see the beautiful natural landscapes on offer in the U.S.A. Over the course of the next 7 months he would cross 10 states, ride over 8,500km and visit countless national parks and state forests.
I found it inspiring listening to Jason recount his bicycle tour and it was apparent just how much of a positive impact this solo adventure has had on him.
