GREEN BAY, Wis. - s4story -- Be careful if Tracy and Peter Flucke invite you to join them on a bicycle ride as you might not be back for a while. This adventuresome couple is just as likely to pedal across the USA as they are to enjoy a leisurely outing from their home in northeastern Wisconsin.

This time, the Fluckes invite you to join them on their epic 2016 ride along historic Route 66 in their new book, Bicycling Historic Route 66: Our Adventure Crossing the USA on a Bicycle Built for Two (M&B Global Solutions Inc.).

"Tracy and Peter Flucke are an inspiration to those who enjoy biking for recreation, transportation, and just the pure joy of it," comments Bill Nesper, Executive Director of the League of American Bicyclists. "Their riding shows people what is possible. They experience communities on a human scale, which is one of the most beautiful things about biking."

The Fluckes take turns sharing their perspectives of the challenges they faced in the form of heat, wind, and scarcity of services, spiced by the inevitable adventures and characters that accompany life on a bicycle.
