Quotes from Lucinda during her cycling cross country journey -
“…not able to make it to my destination for the night and had to camp, alone, along-side the road behind some bushes…a bottle came hurling from a car window landing not too far from my tent…sleep just didn’t happen.”
“…after a long, difficult day…coming out of the store where I had stopped to buy a cold drink…I was so disappointed to see that my bike was still there….that no one had stolen it…of course, what I would have done if it had not been there was not a rational thought at the time.”

Our company was founded with the passion and intense energy of Lucinda Chandler…..known as “The Pink Panther” in the recumbent cycling world. She overcame major hurdles of leg paralysis caused by spinal compression, as well as having had her thyroid and a tumor removed after discovering medullary cancer in 2004. After her multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, being able to walk again, and much physical therapy she decided to ride a bike across the U.S.A. as a personal challenge.
She is an active, outdoors-woman certified in Map & Compass skills and Wilderness First Aid/CPR. She has traveled to every state in the U.S.A., all the provinces of Canada, much of Europe, some of the Caribbean and has cycled and done numerous backpacking treks in many areas including the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the wilderness of Alaska and has hiked numerous sections of the Appalachian Trail.
