Teacher on Two Wheels

Finally checked out the site, it is quite thorough. I like that one hour at a time philosophy. We will meet again in VT.Good luck Drew! - Mr. M

Dear Andrew:
We read the article and are truly proud of you. Stay well and be happy and know we think of you. We have shared the newspaper article with our friends and also at work. They are all truly amazed at what you have set out to do.
Love you,
Uncle Sid and Aunt Shirley

I am really sorry that I couldn’t make it to your going away party. Be careful and eat alot.
Love,
Cousin Zach

Andrew
We’ll be watching you all the way!
God bless.

I’m sitting in the pre-war desk chair that was yours at Someya, and pondering how… from the most uncomfortable desks in the world - dreams are born! From one Someyite to another - Ganbatte!
What you’re doing is truly amazing. I’ve been cycling for years, but something like this?! eeek. I really admire your guts!
Good luck!
Jonathan.

Hey Andrew! Your a huge hero of mine! I wish i had the strentgh you have to ride my bike all over the world. I truely look up to you andrew! Good Luck! Donna

nice ridin’ champ. roy sounds like the vagabond philosopher that should be startin a revolution. sounds like youre headed to warmer weather soon. as are we. on the coast of cali now in carmel (where clint eastwood used to be mayor) and stayin here for the week. plannin on being in houston on november 10-26. when you think youll be rollin in?

To combat the loneliness, the students suggest that you should:

1.Purchase some some knicknacks.
2.Use mental imagery to think of the good times
with friends and family.
3. Attend a professional sporting event.

They also figured out that you had an average speed of 11.6 mph if you are riding for 4 hours a day. Keep it up Drew! - Mr. M

good luck good buddy i’m sure you’ll dip into Mexico before touching the pacific but you have a place to hang your head here my friend. ill be watching.

Hi, how has your trip been? I am in Mr. M’s class. I would like to know how many miles you have gone and how many hours you have ridden. Have you slept in any hotels yet? How many times have you gone camping.

Sincerely,
Aidan

Wow man, its been a while since we spoke. This thing you’re doing is pretty cool. Hows the cycling going? Its starting to get a wee bit chilly over here, theres snow on the Alps, its gonna be the season soon. Im not recontracting, Im planning on flying to Singapore and then getting the train from there to London. Should be interesting. Ive been thinking alot about doing a season in France next year. Anyway.

Best!

saw your post on the nagano onelist. gambarimashou!

Hi my name is andreas I’m from mr. maniscalco’s class, I was wondering how long you’ve been on the road , where are you , how long do you spend on the road.for a problem in math we found that you’re average speed was 11.6 M.P.H. . what do you do for entertainment, you must get lonely. you are getting allot of comments about your trip, when i told my parents about your trp they thought it was crazy . you must get really tired.
Andreas.

hey Andrew i am erin from Mr. m class ive been
wondering how much people you met.

Hey Drew,
It is Mr. M again. We are in desperate need of miles per day/week stats. We are eager to crunch some numbers in order to find your average speed (mph). Sounds like the Carolinas are treating you well. Again, we will meet again in VT. Please send a video when you get a chance. -Mr. M

Aloha Andrew! Cheers from Maui! I love reading your entries and looking at the pictures of your new friends! I can’t wait to get me hands on your first autobiography.
Think of powering up Mt. Haleakala’s switchbacks on those hills!

Hey Mr. Morgan, I’m Sarah from Mr. M’s class. I was just surfing the web when I thought to check out your site. It’s pretty cool. I’ve got spme questions for you,

1.) Are you feeling better about loneleness?
2.) How is your bike holding up?
3.) Are you excited to get to Mexico?
4.) How many times have you been camping?
5.) How much money have you spent in all?

Have fun

Sincerly,
Sarah Leve

Andrew,
I found out about your amazing journey a few days ago, by accident(I was looking up biking vacations and entered teacher/cycling on Google).
I was instantly impressed by your goals/dream. I too am a teacher, middle school algebra and pre-algebra (2nd year) and previously taught 12 years in elementary school to second language students.
What you are doing is very inspiring! Everyone should do something unconventional yet adventureous at some point in their lives!
I’m currently looking to see what I can do in the next few years as well.
I’ll be reading your updates and will be donating to your cause - biking is an awesome sport - I love it. By the way, do you have a rear view mirror to attach to a pair of sunglasses? If not, absolutely get one - it will allow you to see what’s behind you at all times! It’s indispensable - a safety must have!
Good luck!

Hey man, just saw you on TV. Lenape high school district channel. I liked the abandoned baby question. Hope that doesnt happen to you too often.

hey dude, i think it’s utterly fantastical what you’re doing. i don’t think i could imitate what you’re doing but it has definitely motivated me to go on my own kind of adventure…. as if living in japan isn’t an adventure in and of itself. well, i’ll leave you with these parting words (not that you need me to give you advice) see all you can, do all you can and leave all your reservations behind you. take care.

Hey Andrew, had to comment on the bike. It looks a bit more technical than the one I remember parked outside Jaipurs! Looks like you’re having an awesome time, I keep checking the website to be updated with your adventures and it keeps tempting to travel. When are you coming to Europe?…

Missed you at the 2nd Thanksgiving. Sounds like you are doing well and staying nourished. The students and I have been appreciating the video footage and stats. We will catch up in VT. - Mr. M

Andrew,

This site is incredible! I so enjoyed looking at your photos and reading where the road has taken you so far….

Pedal on!

Cheers,
Colleen

Dear Andrew,

Hey Andrew, looks like things are going really well so far. I still can’t get over how far you have gone already. Best of luck man and it’s really cool following your progress on here!

Hi! I am so glad i saw your adventure… i have read the Delaying the real world a few times and have delayed a few times…but i think after seeing this I may be off to do it again. I run after school programs for ELL in Delaware and I am ready for a new adventure (with less paper work!) I wish you luck and thanks for awesome pics to inspire me to not settle..
michelle

Have a great New Years man. Your friends miss you.

Hi Andrew,

I just got the time to read of some of your adventures. Thanks for the video clips. I enjoyed that virtual bike ride in Mexico. Sounds like you are looking forward to Costa Rica. My niece just visited there and loved it. Stay well and safe. Happy New Year!

Mrs. M.

We had the best time there… Hope you are doing well in your travels… Your mom told me about your website so i wanted to say hello… I have attached a pic of me and my brother on the canopy tours.. Please say hi to your mom for me..

Hi Andrew,

I have an idea for your “America” question, or at least my solution. I have not refrained from calling myself an American.

When people tell me that they are Americans also, I tell them fantastic. Why don’t they call themselves Americans. People from Mexico frequently call themselves Mexicans. Costaricans call themselves Costaricenses or ticos. Would they like it if I called them Dingbobs or whosits? Frequently the answer is no. I inform them that they have chosen to refer to me as an estadounidense. They have decided what to call me. I am from the United States of America. It is the name of my country. They have chose to call me by the first part of the name and I have chosen to call myself by the last part of my countries name. Should I not have the right of self determination? What is truly at stake is not the use of a name, but the feeling of being left out. That is a feeling of insecurity, which is not something I or you can give them. They have to deal with it from with.

Hey Andrew,

Hi Andrew im Susana im for the school of Costa Rica Kamuk School and i see the page and you e-mail thanks !!!!!! bye bye !!!

Dear Andrew;
By now you must be used to living the life of leisure. Uncle Sid says you must be getting fat, if you are still eating the way you ate when we last saw you. I, truly doubt that you could ever get fat. We just gainned weight watching you eat, even though we weren’t well enough to share in the eating process. We send our love to you and also please take it with to Alison and David when you go.
Stay well, be happy and know we love you.
Uncle Sid and Aunt Shirley

Hi Andrew,
I’m from Kamuk Costa Rica, I hope you’re really good and that you’re enjoying your trip, we want your classes, come back !!! Hahaha sorry !!! I hope we can see you again soon. Good luck !!!
