A person’s mental outlook is directly attributable to the state of their feet. Just look at the Grinch. Shoes two sizes too small turned a benevolent dog-loving homebody into a psychotic sled-driving misanthrope, and were in fact the impetus for his devastating unilateral attack on Whoville. To avoid precisely this kind of podiatric disaster, Brian and I have gone to great lengths to keep our feet happy, swapping from sneakers to boots in the cold, and even resorting to gortex boot covers in the rain. But approaching the small town of Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, we were running dangerously low on clean socks, so when we saw the sign for Tonya’s Laundry Corner, we quickly turned off. Owner Tonya Booher let us pull the bikes inside and plug them in next to a row of washing machines, which we immediately filled with socks and various other articles of clothing. And as we filled the machines with quarters we soon realized, our bikes were gonna get us all the way to DC for less than it cost to do two loads of laundry.

If you can give us access to a standard household electrical outlet, we can top-off and make it to our next stop. A full charge is only 30ยข and we're happy to reimburse anyone interested. So please email or tweet us so we can connect.

Share a couch

If you live along the route and we can crash on your couch or floor let us know. We'd be genuinely happy to meet and hang out with you, and we'd be considerate guests in your home. You can email us or use couchsurfing.com.

What We're Doing

Our plan is to retrace the route of the automotive CEOs who went to Washington DC asking for government loans. But instead of looking for aid, we'd like to present President Obama with a homegrown solution to the transportation crisis. And instead of flying in a corporate jet, we're riding Brammo Enertia powercycles. We're just a couple of guys who work for Brammo, but we want to show that there's a better way to get from Point A to Point B. And we want to have a little fun while we're doing it. So join us as we surf from plug to plug in a quest to meet Obama, fueled by nothing more than electricity and the kindness of everyday Americans.
