I don't think you're crazy at all! I ride my bike everywhere in the summer. I can put on over 4,000 miles in a summer. It's great exercise and very relaxing (that is when you don't have to watch out for traffic). I would love to join ou if I could, wish you lots of adventure. I heard of a couple who took their 3 kids on a long bike ride up to Alaska from Kentucky (they went down to Florida first). they rode a bike buiklt for 5! They had quite anadventure and the kids learned a lot (the youngest was about 4 or 5 when they left)
