The following article is a copy and its translated version of a Instagram/Facebook post that I wrote during my bike trip in Minnesota between Augst 31st. and September 3rd.– a short travel for visiting my former major professor.

車やトラックに追い抜かれるのは本当に怖い。狭い田舎の街道では巨大な１８輪トレーラーが格段に恐ろしい。どのドライバーも通り過ぎるときは注意深く距離をとってくれはするんだけど。
