Who are we?

We are a family who believes in living your dream and we do significantly more than talk the talk. We walk the walk. Or bike the bike, as the case may be. From 2008 to 2011, the four of us pedaled 17,300 miles through fifteen countries from Alaska to Argentina. Our twin sons, at age 13, broke the world record as the youngest people to cycle the length of the Americas.

We’ve been profiled in a wide range of news outlets and print media including:

• Good Morning America
• NBC NY Nightly News
• Parade Magazine
• CNN
• Boys’ Life Magazine
• Scholastic News
• The Guardian (UK)
• National Geographic Traveller (UK)
• Sabado (Portugal)
• The Bund (China)
