Hermit’s Woodshed

“I’ve been a drifter and a low-life loser

Hermit’s Woodshed carries on where the Bike Touring News blog (R.I.P) left off. The Bike Hermit will still talk about bikes as well as other important stuff like drinking beer, building houses, woodworking, music, and so on. Most of the Bike Touring News blog posts are contained herein as well.
