NYC has been great and I couldn’t be happier with the final days of my journey. I’ve ridden up and down Manhattan more times than I can remember and also been through Brooklyn a couple of times. The tour down to Coney Island with its pier, boardwalk, beach and the Atlantic Ocean was a great break from the traffic on Broadway and hustling New Yorkers. This city, like most of the other places I’ve visited during these past 10 weeks, will probably stay in my memory for a very long time – and I also got me a little reminder in case I should forget!
Soon I’m about to leave for the airport to catch the flight that’s going to bring me back to Sweden. It’s a strange feeling, I’ve really gotten used to this way of living and all the everyday things this country has to offer. Everything has been so different from life back in Sweden, still I can’t avoid feeling a little bit home here. This is most certainly not my last visit to the U.S.
I’d like to thank everyone who’s made this journey to what is. All the friendly people I’ve met on the way who have shown such great hospitality and been so helpful and of course everyone who’s followed my adventures on the blog; you’re all witnesses to what I’ve achieved in case anyone should ever doubt!
This is probably one of my last posts for now, I hope you’ve all enjoyed the small insights in all the wonderful things this journey has meant to me. I’m sure I’ll be back with new adventures, anything else would really surprise me and probably some of you too!

I am so glad you took the time to explore our country (and now YOUR adopted country!). It is so nice to have someone come here and see for themselves what it is like “on the inside”. God Bless you and your future travels.
Comment by Faith Hignight June 13, 2010 @ 06:31Congratulations Tobias! I’m glad you made it safely. Let me know if you’ve got any future bicycle adventures, I’m itching to get back out on the road
P.S. Pearl says congratulations as well.
Comment by Stuart June 14, 2010 @ 08:56Tobias, I just finished my ride across the USA. I had a great time too. Witnessed many storms, met some great people and saw some wonderful sights. About 4,300 miles for me.
I’m glad you made it safely and will have some stories to remember and share your entire life! Way to go Buddy!!!
