The Bike America Team is composed of five 2001 Appalachian Trail Thru-Hikers that were featured in Cirque Production’s documentary, TREK. Similarly, Cirque Productions will produce a travel adventure documentary of the seven-person Bike America

Team as they make their journey across America.
The documentary will not only cover what goes into biking 6,500 miles across the country, but will also follow the team along the way and feature the adventure of living on a bicycle for four months.

Additionally, the film will feature themes that include team dynamics, geographical impact, societal acceptance, and the mentality behind leaving your normal day-to-day for four months.

When seven people are involved in intense situations every day, and these same people are around each other non-stop, interesting group dynamics result. The documentary will seek to see how the team comes together in times of difficulty, or how they are driven apart by conflicting personalities.

The Bike America team will move from the bug-infested shoreline of Maine, then across the Appalachian Mountain Chain, later into the flat, dry plains of the Midwest, and finally into the California coast. As the team moves through all these regions, the documentary will show how their progress and mentality is impacted by these diverse geographies.
While hiking the Appalachian Trail, the Bike America team experienced that the people around the trail went out of their way to help travelers in need. People would offer their houses as hostels, cook meals, and drive just about anywhere. Will the Bike America Team find the same hospitality along roadways of America, or is this altruistic phenomenon isolated to the Appalachian Mountains of the East Coast?

Many people live their whole life where their only big adventure is a family vacation to Disney World. However, many others look for more. Leaving the normal day-to-day life, your house, and your friends and family is a big challenge. However, the things you discover about life and yourself are worth the sacrifices. The Bike America film will explore one character’s expectations and emotions as he leaves normal life for the first time and begins his adventure of a lifetime.
