I do have a question though, and I certainly do not want to offend anyone, but if your friend could afford to buy a bike and ride it across country, why did she not have any health insurance?

The article explains all that. She sold everything she owed except the bike to fund the trip. It was her dream and enough of a dream to sacrific everything she had. I have both driven my car and ridden my bike across country. I must say, that the experience of riding a bike across country is completely different from driving. You feel more in touch with the world around you on the bike. Also, the nature of a bike (short full range on a tank, and harder on the body) means that you stop more frequently and see more stuff. I get about 200 miles on a tank of gas, but need to stop about every 80 to 100 miles to take a break and stretch. In a car I litterally drive an entire tank, stop and fuel and drive another tank.
