Summary of The Bike Wedding
Shawn Sears and Laura Dickerson are getting married all summer long on a bike trip across the country! Please see below for how you can participate. Also there's information on our planned route and maps and approximate schedule. You can see photos, read stories, and share your thoughts.

Route Overview
For larger and more detailed maps, click here: MAPS!
We hope to ride our bikes a total of 3,500 miles over three months this summer. We'll be covering a lot more miles than that, though, since our route isn't a straight like across the country. So sometimes we'll need to take trains,get rides from friends, or rent cars so that we can get to all the places we want to go.
Please check out the detailed maps by using the link above so you can see if we'll be in your area!

How you can participate!
There are at least 4 big ways that you can participate in our bike wedding!
1. JOIN US FOR SOME BIKING! You can come along for a few miles, a few days, or more! Check out our route and dates and then contact us so we can work out details together.
2. COME TO A PARTY! Some parties have already been planned on some of our stops. Please come to one or more happening nearest you. (We hope that you won't feel the need to buy a plane ticket.)
3. PLAN YOUR OWN PARTY! If there's not a party already happening near you, you can hold your own party for our wedding. We're open to almost anything. (See the article below on parties.)
4. GIVE US ADVICE ABOUT YOUR AREA! If our route comes near your home, please give us tips on great campgrounds, local festivals, things to do and see, etc. And if we could spend a night on your floor or put our tent in your backyard, that would be great, too!
