Author and speaker Neil M. Hanson is one of the country's foremost bicycle-touring experts. He's pedaled across America along the Natchez Trace across several of the nations' premier rail trails and throughout northern Italy.

The Flint Hills of Kansas are home to Neil. The wide landscape of the deep tallgrass prairie taught him to cultivate a broad perspective while searching for subtleties hidden in low pockets sheltered from the winds of what feels obvious.

He lives in Colorado navigating his bicycle up and down the inclines of the Rocky Mountains. His books provide both outstanding guidance to help cyclists plan and execute a bicycle tour and journey stories that anyone will enjoy. His mastery of the art of storytelling inspires touring cyclists to reach for their next level of adventure wannabe cyclists to go out and start turning the pedals and armchair adventurers to imagine a delightful tailwind or to vicariously explore a small town along the trail.
