Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,021-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration
Author: Sara Dykman
280 pages
Amazon rating: 4.6
Goodreads rating: 3.9
Summary: Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration—a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts. Her panniers were recycled buckets.
In Bicycling with Butterflies, Dykman recounts her incredible journey and the dramatic ups and downs of the nearly nine-month odyssey. We’re beside her as she navigates unmapped roads in foreign countries, checks roadside milkweed for monarch eggs, and shares her passion with eager schoolchildren, skeptical bar patrons, and unimpressed border officials. We also meet some of the ardent monarch stewards who supported her efforts, from citizen scientists and researchers to farmers and high-rise city dwellers.
We will meet a 7pm at:
Level Crossing Brewing Company
2496 S W Temple Street
South Salt Lake City
I will be there early- I have short brown hair and glasses, and will be carrying a copy of the book.
