Bikes and Planes
The Freedom of Flight (and Bike)

I have owned 1MH since 2009 and have always appreciated the ability to get other places quickly — whether for work related matters or family vacations. However, I didn’t fully recognize the ultimate feeling of freedom of owning an airplane until I discovered flying and biking. Read about WeFlyNBike’s first fly n bike trip to a maximum security prison in Bishopville, SC in 2009..

With flying and biking, we typically do not choose a destination until the day before we leave. 1MH has a range of 650 nautical miles which gives us a number of options from Greenville, SC — Chicago, New York, Kansas City, New Orleans, Key West and everything in between.

I absolutely love not knowing where we are going until right up to our departure time. The wide ranging discussion about where to go or what to do makes it spontaneous and fun. Should we go east or west? North or South? Which way is the wind blowing? Where is the bad weather? What’s this place like? Have you ever been there? Let’s go!

There are so many places in the USA that exude cool — Outer Banks, Cambridge, MD, Block Island, Apalachicola and Jekyll Island Ga are places we’ve been and many more to find and explore.
