SEASON 4 / EPISODE 5: Artist and photographer Mardi Millay rode her bike over on a beautiful spring day to share stories of her life's journey — which began in a Cambodian orphanage in the late 1980s. After an arduous beginning, Mardi and 9 international siblings were adopted by a family on the coast of Maine, where cycling really began to take hold. She recounts first memories of riding bikes around the Bar Harbor area, but it’s when she moved to Portland that she really got her first taste of the freedom and independence a bike would allow. Now she rides as often as possible; always learning, looking, listening and most importantly — finding adventure and treasure wherever she goes. Her ultimate goal is to ride her bike around the U.S. — to discover and document what America means, from her own unique perspective.
