MORE ABOUT THIS MOVIE:

In April 2006, Race Across America legend Lon Haldeman led 40 cyclists 2,488 miles from LA to Chicago to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Route66.

Author, world bicycle traveler and handlebar videographer Lynette Chiang (The Galfromdownunder) shot a 45-minute DVD video of this journey using a simple digital camera tucked into her jersey pocket. It was was made on a 12" Apple Powerbook using basic Apple software.

The movie was presented in 2006 as a Made on a Mac presentation at the Chicago Apple Store. If you missed it then, here's another chance to see it and be inspired to do same!
