Type Rider

Riding a bike while towing a typewriter, she’ll be at the Decatur Book Festival.

From Type Rider

My name is Maya Stein and on May 5, 2012, on the day I turned 40, I set out by bicycle from Amherst, Massachusetts to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, toting a typewriter behind me. I am riding for 40 days and more than 1,300 miles with my Remington Ten Forty and a folding table and chair. Along the way, I’m stopping in communities, setting up a mobile typing booth, and inviting people to contribute their words to a growing, collaborative piece of writing.
