About Us

The name Two Bicycles and a Map, came out of our love for bicycling. The two of us, (Eric and Kathy), on our bicycles, with a road map, having fun and meeting friendly people along the way; this wasn’t just a dream, it was a starting point.

Many years ago, we set out on an adventure that would change our lives forever. With two bicycles, our trusty maps and some gear, we left Wisconsin to explore Europe. Our plan was to visit our many overseas relatives, by bicycle, and to sample European way of life.
What a great trip we had!

From pushing our bikes through a cow pasture in Germany, to pedaling along to the applause of locals, in France, we found that cycling was the best way to meet people and truly experience the local culture first hand. After that summer we decided we could do this very, “vacation on your bike,” closer to home and began our Wisconsin bicycle touring company.

In the past twenty years we have hosted thousands of cyclists on the scenic back-roads and small towns in Wisconsin. On the week-long bike tours we enjoyed showing other people the fun and adventures to be experienced when touring by bicycle. Always there has been a love of biking, ours and the riders,  especially when younger riders have a great time and come back year after year. We have met many wonderful people and volunteers on our events and many have become lifelong friends.

But we always knew we would get back to what started it all off for us, just two people on a bike exploring the world. These are some of our ongoing adventures.

Happy cycling,
Eric and Kathy
