Introduction

My name is Robert Hickman. I'm an artist and college professor from Brooklyn, NY. I make sculptural objects, installations, and public art. My work can be seen on my website at hickmanindustries.com . I've done many transportation related public art projects, the best known being the skylight for the 72nd street subway station on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I'm recognized for my unicycling and project to cross every single bridge in New York City on a unicycle. I commute everywhere in NYC by bike, often with my dog Blanka . In 2018 I rode coast to coast following the ACA TransAmerica trail. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. This past summer I cycled across the US following the ACA Northern Tier route. I'm addicted to cycling adventures. I'm embarking on the ultimate cycling adventure with my friend Scott, whom I cycled with on the TransAm. Both of us were inspired by our pal Kyle , who was part of our TransAm gang. Kyle cycled...

Heading south by bus Day #3 El Calfate to Puerto Natales, Chile

Image
January 16, 2020 El Calfate to Puerto Natales, Chile by bus I slept reasonably well in the ghetto Estadía A.M.S.A. campground in El Calafate. I had to get up a few times during the night and one of my shoes had dog poop stuck to the tread. The stars were brilliant, but there was a bright light in the next lot. Scott woke up at 7am, before me. My tent was wet with condensation, and I moved everything to a patch of sun to dry. There was human poop and toilet paper in the grass and I was careful not to step in it or soil my gear. The shower was a bare trickle of hot water and I was able to clean myself. I also scrubbed the dog poop off the bottom of my shoe. I talked with two cyclists whom had camped near us. A guy from Santiago had flown here two days ago and was beginning his northbound Carretera Austral ride to Coyhaique. I gave him a tube of patch cement. A British woman had ridden here from Baraloche. We talked about the epic crossing and she said that her tires were t...

Carretera Austral Day #5 Villa Vanguardia to Parque Nacional Queulat

Image
December 31, 2019 Villa Vanguardia to Parque Nacional Queulat 102.7 Km Ride Time: 11:04 Pedal Time: 7:55 Tour Total Pedaled 379 Km On our Itinerary we were aiming today for the town of Fresia, which existed on a map that I downloaded from a cyclist blog. However it didn’t exist on Google Maps or along Highway 7. We stealth camped in a sheep pasture 5km north of Villa Vanguardia. We set up right before dark and Scott cooked ramin. I rolled over two giant logs for us to sit on.  There was a sheep baahing outside my tent in the middle of the night. The grass was level and my pillow was inflated just right.  At 8am the inside of my tent was getting warm and it was time to get up. Everything that had been exposed to the condensation was drenched.  Scott made himself oatmeal and we began the morning routine of finding the best sun angles to dry our equipment. We leaned our bikes against the logs and spread our flies over the fence and bikes.  ...
