A Series on DVD

  • Follow the very same routes taken by George Washington along the Potomac River and ride inspiring trails through the thirteen colonies. Most people who cycle or walk these trails may not even know the history about them.

  • Instead of walking or being on horseback like travelers in the 1700s, join us for rides along popular bicycle paths that provide the same sort of scenery and landmarks as those found by early settlers and patriots of bygone days. It often difficult to believe how they could even survive without running water, convenience stores, electricity or cell phones.

  • Listen to period music and hear the explanations of people who reenact the past with authentic clothing and accoutrements. See how colonists lived and find remnants of previous generations that remain today (if you know where to look for them).

  • Experience natural beauty and learn through the magic of digital video. Share your fascination with friends and family. This is the exciting new form of media to entertain and educate simultaneously. Look for this unique DVD series in libraries near you. Most libraries allow you sign out the DVDs for FREE, or pay a nominal fee. Librarians like our series because it is non-fiction and non-controversial. If this series is not on the shelves: Ask for it !

This is what Bicycling Through History is all about.


Now, we also provide FREE downloads of select pieces.

Somehow, we got off the trail of "normal" American history. We were drawn to the actual true stories that are rarely told or described in text books. As with the entire DVD series, we seek out modern day subject matter experts who combine vast personal knowledge with a spirit of adventure to relive history around us today.

Because video on the web has become so popular, and because we have had so many requests for it, we are now providing a few unusual segments. These pieces simply did not fit into the sequential order we try to present on the DVDs. We find them fascinating and perhaps you will, too.

There are many ways to display video clips on the web. We have chosen MP4 as the format to use. It makes small files with relatively good quality.

Our intent is merely to provide a brief glimpse into the more complete coverage provided on the DVDs. We also want to show footage NOT included on the DVDs.

The MP4 format makes these clips easy to download for display on a laptop, an iPod or similar device.

We provide a way to preview the clips on the web at - The Video Page.

Try the ones listed below and then come back to visit this site again to see when we add more.

We have a simple way to handle that. Just type your message and hit SUBMIT.

Email Address (REQUIRED)

That button SHOULD say "Submit," but if it does not, click it anyway to send a message.

The alternative is to send email directly to Vickie@BicyclingThroughHistory.com

Unfortunately, we have not set up a way to reply immediately. The best we can do, at this point, is sort through all the bogus comments and junk email to answer serious messages. That takes time.

If you want to see some the other comments and questions that we have received, try FAQs, meaning FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS or Comments to which we try to respond.

Bicycling Through History is fun. Share it with friends.
