The Huang family traveled on special bikes. They carried more than 100 pounds of supplies including eight bicycle tires, sleeping bags, cooking utensils, and a notebook computer. They used the computer to send stories about their trip back to a newspaper in Taiwan. It was not an easy trip. They bicycled across hot desert and cold mountains, and sometimes slept in schools, hospitals, or gas stations. They even slept in a jail one night! Li-Chun believes that the difficult trip was a good experience for her children.
