Dreamwhip. 15

"I've always ridden junker bikes in junky clothes, so these skintight bike shorts are a line I'm reluctant to cross. I try them on. It's a weird feeling: part bondage gear, part adult diaper. I feel stupid and just a tiny bit sexy..." Follow Bill and his friends as they pedal over hill and dale on a bike ride across the United States in this fifteenth issue of his long-running Dream Whip series. It's 2000 miles of meth heads and road rage; rail trails; Mississippi River murder; psychic waitresses; anarchists; haunted Unitarian churches; soybeans from Satan; farm dogs with bad attitudes; and coconut cream pie.
