Robert Hollandsworth Starts A Ride of Undetermined Length

Texbiker.net Posted on by

January 1 sounds like a good time to start a bicycle tour, or turn your life around, or, if you’re Robert Hollandsworth, to do both.

Robert started his Cycle for Life bicycle tour from Houston on Thursday and plans to keep cyclo-touring the US with no end in sight. He’ll survive on $200 a month from his family and whatever donations he gets from playing his guitar and tuning pianos along the way.

His trip is no spur-of-the-moment New Year’s resolution. Robert’s been planning this trip for several years with advice from experienced touring bicyclists at the Internet Bicycle Touring List. At his website, he writes:

“Now, after two years of more wishing than dreaming that I could just pedal off into the sunrise and let go of all the ‘issues’ of the past and begin a brand new life, I finally quit my job this month, gave my vehicle back to the bank, made the rounds to see my family for Christmas, and transported my gear to Houston, TX to begin my Cycle For Life Tour.”

  1. It appears his blog has gone dead. Any info? I was hoping to follow his tour on the web, but now I’m worried that he has hit a snag.

  5. I do not personally know Robert, but he sent be a blast e mail to a bunch of people on his e mail contacts that he has me included with. In his e mail sent around the 10th of Feb. he said that he was catching a bus home to attend the funeral for a dear friend. He stated that he would be resuming his trip after the funeral. I hope he is able to continue as it seems that he was deriving so much from his touring experience and contributing so much to those he was interacting with along the way.

  6. Friends,

    Indeed, I hit a big old snag and got grounded for awhile, compliments of a broken heart, a pulled tendon in my right leg that just would not heal, a fairly major pysical breakdown due to depletion, and one of several mechanical breakdowns that finally had me calling a AAA tow truck to pick me up… Boy was I glad for that membership card! I am, however, alive and healing… for the moment in Arkansas… but will resume the Cycle For Life Tour as soon as I upgrade my gear and heal up a bit more. Thanks for your concern! I am building a new blog, temporarily on a friends web address at http://www.lightsongministries.org/ until I can get mine back up and running. Everything takes money, doesn’t it! Thanks for your concern and support! Robert Hollandsworth
