My First Bike Touring Adventure

In this zine, J Henry Hansen shares her first experience doing a bike tour from San Francisco down to San Diego with her girlfriend. Documenting the physical aspect of biking long distances, Hansen also shares the different attractions and places that she visited along the way, the foods she ate, and the places that she camped. Covering the kindness of strangers on the road to Hansen's privilege to travel, Hansen also touches on recovery and reflection on her past drug and alcohol addiction through the lens of community and relationships that are formed beyond weekly meetings and in spaces she found on her cycling trip. "My First Bike Touring Adventure: Slooooow Travel" is made up of collaged text and photographs on colored backgrounds. --Grace Li
