Riding a bicycle 3,100 miles — Honduras to the U.S.
DURHAM — Getting to Honduras was a quick two- or three-hour plane flight.
But for Emily Metzloff, getting back took two and a half months.
It’s just not as fast on a bike.
Metzloff was in Honduras with the Peace Corps, teaching kids about life skills, health and computers. While she was there, she biked everywhere and realized she liked it.
“I had a really good friend who also liked to bike ride, so one day I said, ‘Hey, we should ride home,’ ” she said. “So we did.”
