Families on The Road
We are a FOTR (Family On The Road)
Imagine our surprise when FOTR e-mailed us and asked if we'd like to join their site and link to theirs... a community of other road families to share stories with?! How could we say no? If you are one of the folks who has written to us asking about the hows and whys of making long term travel a reality, check out this site. It is chock full of families living on the road, all over the world (although mostly in North America) right now. You're sure to be inspired and encouraged to make your dream a reality!
Upside Over
Purveyors of all things adventure for children. This is REAL adventure gear, not "play gear" that is available so many other places. You'll love the quality, the excellent service and willing encouragement that these people provide. You'll also soon see reviews of much of their gear written by us on their web site as we're an official "gear testing" family!
Ryanhood
We saw these guys at Quincy Market in Boston several years ago; playing with their guitar case open for small change. We immediately liked their sound. This year they resurfaced on our radar and we bought an album (available on iTunes). Many of their songs resonate with our family, but “Gardens and Graves” seemed to be written just for us, just for this adventure. We contacted Ryan & Cameron and asked them if they would be interested in giving it to us as our official theme song. They were and they did. If you are looking for some good, clean, hip music for your family, check them out. Our boys have been inspired by their masterful guitar playing. Thanks guys, for the song and for believing in our adventure enough to show your support.
Geography Matters
Edventurous explorer and geography educator extraordinaire, Uncle Josh Wiggers descended, with cape flapping in the breeze, to heroically provide all of the maps in our virtual field trip downloads. In our humble, home schooling, opinion, his resources for teaching geography are the best available. If you buy them through us by entering their web site using this link, Uncle Josh will contribute a portion of your purchase price to furthering our expedition. Hurrah for Uncle Josh!
The Touring Store
We so appreciate the time and wisdom contributed to our venture by Wayne, owner of The Touring Store. He spent many hours consulting about bags and racks and reinforcement and a million other things that we didn't understand at first! We appreciate the encouragement as well as the great deal he gave us on our Ortlieb panniers and bags which we are SO happy with. Waterproof IS a good thing! If you need any sort of bike touring related gear, look here first. The gear and the service are outstanding!
Kucharik
A big thank you to Kucharik for providing cycling jerseys that are not only functional, but fun, allowing us parents to match our kids. This is an American company that provides all sorts of cycling gear. If cycling is your passion, this site will become a favorite!
Schwalbe Tires
After much research, we decided that Schwalbe was the way to go. After some testing, it is apparent that the research was right! It's amazing how much of a difference these tires make. Prior to switching to these tires, I would coast down hills while the children pedaled to try to keep up - and Jenn burned up her brakes at the back of the line. Now, having changed nothing more than the tires, the kids stay right on my tail down the hills in addition to trying to push me up the hills.
A BIG "thank you" to Celeste at Schwalbe for her help, wonderful customer service, and sponsorship. I whole-heartedly recommend their products.
