How would you like to get out on the open road? Maybe see a few sites?

Well, grab a bicycle and join one young man, who has spent his summer doing just that.

News 25s Lesley Nagy has more on the cross-country journey, that is also bringing light to the issue of climate change.

Meet Colin Davis. He is Cycling across the nation for three months on a quest he calls "ride to sustain.

The bicycle is probably the greatest piece of green technology we have.

I caught up with Colin as he was getting adjustments on his mode of transportation.

So how long did it take you to plan this trip?

"About 4 years but I only started planning 8 months ago. 8 months of training by riding anywhere from 1 to 5 hours in a single day. All while he was finishing college."

"As a physics student climate change really mattered to me it was something I've learned a lot about in school and scared the crap out of me to be honest."

Colin will stop to interview professors, scientists, and company executives along his 4-thousand mile trek.

"What I'm trying to get out of them is a sense of how urgent the issues of climate change is. And how urgent other environmental issues are. And what people in their individual lives and businesses can do to affect that."

Everyone can follow his journey online or grab a bike and join him.

Anyone is welcome as long as they can literally carry their own weight.
And don't get in the way of his buddy John who is filming it all.

"It requires absolutely no gas, no anything to drive. It gets you in shape it keeps you healthy and it does wonders for the environment."

Davis is scheduled to arrive in Boston, his final destination, on October 3.
