The Reason(s)
Garrett and Forrest
Biking across America has always been a "life goal" for Houston. (That and running a marathon. Peer pressure led to a repeat of that one. Assuming we make it, will it be the last trip across?)

You don't need us to tell you this and even if you did we probably don't need to pull a stunt off like this to get your attention. We are running out of oil. Intense agriculture and fossil fuel consumption required to enhance development for the overly large population is changing the climate. Americans are fat. Get off your ass and ride a bike.
