About Our Trip

Welcome to BikeForBooks!  My name is Jamie Moorby, and this is my Blog about an adventure I’m embarking on in May of 2010.  Here is a bit about what it is, and where it came from!

I’ve been a volunteer for the DC Area Books to Prisons Project for more than 4 years, and during that time have sent out thousands of free books to prisoners around the country.  I have also made lifelong friends, both with fellow volunteers and with prisoners I met through exchanging letters.  As our volunteer base and thus production (packing) capabilities increase, so does our need for postage funds!  We are currently averaging about $600 per month, and the grant money we get from our fiscal sponsor, The Quixote Center, simply doesn’t cover it all.

So a few weeks ago, was brainstorming ways to raise some money, so that we could continue sending out packages at the rate we want to.  At the same time, I had a friend planning a bike trip across the country.  I moved to Vermont in Early April, and was hesitant to then leave for 4 months so soon after arriving here.  However, this spring I did a bike trip with a few other friends from New Orleans to Austin Texas, and had an incredible time!   So, I decided to put 2 and 2 together, and create an epic adventure.

I’m asking friends, family, and anyone who supports this important cause to make a contribution to DC Books to Prisoners, to help us as an organization continue our important work, and to help me get safely across our expansive country!

I plan to leave around May 18th from Yorktown, VA.  We are following the Adventure Cycling TransAmerica Route.  While this 4,200+ mile ride is sometimes done in 8-10 weeks, we plan to take more like 14-16, arriving early to mid-September.  We are planning this much time because (A) those mountains are BIG yo! and (B) we want the time and flexibility to find fun people and spend quality time with them along the way.

Please consider supporting this trip by making a tax deductible donation.  My goal is to raise $4,200 ($1/mile) for Books to Prisoners, and another $1,800 to ensure we make the trip.  (We are estimating the trip will cost a total of about $3,600 per person when all is said and done!)

In order to keep everyone up to date with how our trip is going, I will be communicating in the following ways”

This Blog, bikeforbooks.biketravellers.com:  I will have a goal of updating every week.  Each entry will include some photo’s and fun stories, as well as a brief what we did/how far we went each day type of info.

Facebook:  You can follow My Profile, or my Bike Trips’ Page.  I will try to post daily updates via my cellular telephone.

You can also make a donation and learn more about DC Books to Prisons at www.bookstoprisons.org.

    The Rise of Electric Cars
    Electric cars have been gaining popularity worldwide in recent years, and for good reason. These vehicles are powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels, offering numerous advantages for both individual consumers and the environment. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the number of electric cars on the road globally surpassed 10 million in 2020, indicating a clear shift towards sustainable transportation.
    Advantages of Electric Cars

    Environmental friendliness: Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.
    Lower operating costs: Electricity is generally cheaper than gasoline, resulting in lower fuel costs. Additionally, electric cars have fewer moving parts, leading to reduced maintenance and repair expenses.
    Improved energy efficiency: Electric cars convert more energy from their batteries to power on the wheels, making them more efficient than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
    Energy independence: Switching to electric cars reduces dependence on imported oil and promotes more sustainable energy sources.
    Government incentives: Many governments offer financial incentives, such as tax credits, grants, and rebates, to encourage the purchase of electric cars.

    These advantages have sparked significant interest among consumers, leading to the rapid growth of the electric vehicle market. In fact, the IEA predicts that the global electric car fleet could reach 145 million by 2030 if countries implement policies to support the transition.
    Kris Jenner’s Influence
    Kris Jenner is not only a household name, but she has also embraced the electric car movement and is using her platform to promote their benefits. Jenner’s own fleet of electric cars, including Tesla Model S and Model X, has been the subject of media coverage and has showcased her dedication to sustainable transportation.
    By publicly endorsing electric cars and sharing her positive experiences, Jenner has created awareness and sparked conversations surrounding their advantages. Her influence extends beyond the traditional car enthusiast community and reaches a wide audience, including her massive social media following and fans who look up to her lifestyle choices.
    Key Takeaways

    Kris Jenner’s advocacy for electric cars highlights the increasing popularity and importance of sustainable transportation.
    Her influence helps spread awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles to a broad audience.
    Sustainable transportation is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
    Electric cars offer environmental benefits, lower operating costs, and contribute to energy independence.

    As Kris Jenner continues to champion the electric car movement, her influence goes beyond the glamorous world she exists in. By embracing electric cars, she inspires others to consider sustainable alternatives and contribute to a greener future.
