At a time of primitive computer and communications technologies. After six months of obsessive preparation, I hit the road in September 1983 on a custom recumbent bicycle with solar-powered portable computer, a CompuServe account, and a base office. As the adventure unfolded, I wrote a book called Computing Across America, produced columns. Detailed article about the system in Popular Computing. My audiobook reading of Computing Across America, Chapter 1.Introduction to my column in USA Today. Free sample of the book - 3 chapters of Computing Across America. There was no provision for writing while riding, although I did have a remote-controlled audio cassette deck for note-taking while underway-this, along with a large pile of spiral notebooks, helped tremendously when writing the Computing Across America book.
