Cycling To 48 States For Suicide Awareness | Dan Hurd

Dan is one of those guys you would call a legend. I saw him posting online in cycle touring groups and drove from Los Angeles to Monument valley to meetup with him and tell his story. Things take a turn at the end of the day and we witness Dan do his 80th suicide intervention. Then things take another turn, something every cycling fears while road biking.
If you are struggling and need help, there are resources here: opaatmovement....
Dan runs a non-profit that gives away suicide prevention trainings called OPAATM. (One Pedal At A Time Movement). You can donate here: opaatmovement....

Why do bad things happen to such good people

[@ApollymiiaThanata]

My husband had two attempts before we even met when we were 16/17 years old. One time the gun jammed, the other was pills and alcohol and its by sheer luck that family found him before it was too late. Before he met me he lived a horribly abusive life, no one truly cared for him, not even his own family. He had nothing to live for until me, and now our daughter. What's sad is I know that if something were to ever happen to us, he would go right back into a very dark place and would most likely attempt again. It's been almost 10yrs since we've been together and I'm always trying to give him other things to live for, something to keep him here, cause you never know what can happen in life.

[@PalmettoMoon]

You are such a great guy Trent. Dan is the real IRONMAN. Awesome story of such great life we have.

[@ridewithdanusa]

Thankful to be able to do what I do

[@Paarrad]

:( :( :( Dear Dan... i saw today first your "Long Interview" and then after that this... I start to cry, it remeber me at so much shit from Past.... I am so glad that you start to recover! Love u!

[@ridewithdanusa]

Thank you everyone for watching my video! Huge thanks to Trent for making these! I am making progress everyday and Thankful to be back out on my journey. You can follow my journey at Ridewithdanusa.com and be sure to see my videos at my KZbin channel Ride With Dan USA and Instagram @Ridewithdanusa

[@andibeat9108]

Hi Dan, I'm very obsessed with your video, and your camper, since I've seen yours I've been blown away, I'm building one too, but I'm having a bit of a problem and I think I'll build the same one as you you have it, your shape is great and the color also goes with my recumbent bike, how did you choose your size as far as your camper is concerned, I would be very grateful if you could tell me a few details, you may have a Facebook Side of you ??, you could send me something there, wine friend request, I'll defend you very grateful Dan, I myself come from Germany, and we also build campers, but I think yours is one of the best, I've translated everything via Google because my English is not so good, I hope that you were able to read everything, Greetings Andreas from Germany

[@Beh0ldas0n]

[@ronaldcheatham7242]

You are such an inspiration. Honestly. I am "VERY GLAD" you are still here. Really. I struggle. But I have decided to try your therapy. I am planning to ride my bike from Washington D.C. back to Pittsburgh Pa. this summer. (This has aroused great excitement in me. I am 63 years young. And sometimes feel alone and useless.) Wishing you all the best. If I can get the equipment. I'll document my ride. Thank you so much for posting your journey. Sincerely. Ron C. Be well. Be safe. Be Blessed.

[@kevinchapman4064]

The video tells a powerful segment of Dan's incredible story and mission - thank you!

[@danjames4086]

If by some miracle you ever end up in Europe and the UK, you can park up in my yard and we'll welcome you. Inspirational is a word used too often, but what you are doing really is inspiring.

Beautiful! Incredible! ✨🙌🏾✨🙏🏾✨

[@pedroclaro7822]

I also got into touring as a way to find a nice place to die, after I had travelled my fair share. Thank you for sharing your story, and for all the good things you did/do. Doesn't matter why we started, only matters what we do NOW, and why we do it.

[@atomicsmith]

Amazing story.

Freaking awesome! You rock!

So glad to have met you

[@jonnymorillo1484]

Sa simula palang po ng pagka kita ko ng unang vedio subrang hanga napo ako kasi gumawa sya ng astig na disinyo ng camping bike tapos gamitin sa ka-hanga-hangang misyon. Nakakabilib po. Mahilig po kasi ako sa mga ganon at gusto ko na mag-travel din kagaya nya. Pero na luha ako noong naaksidinti sya. Subrang naawa ako. Pero noong nalaman ko na naka recover na sya natuwa na ako at humanga ulit kasi nalaman ko na hindi sya sumoko,, tinoloy nya ulit ang mission na. Para sakin isa syang super hero na naglilibot sa ibat ibang lugar para magsagip ng buhay kahit nasa panganib. Parang si Batman may sariling astig na gawa na sasakyan.😊

Its hard to explain to someone who does not ride just how good cycling makes you feel when it comes to mental health oxygen is the most important nutrient for god brain chemistry.

[@The-GreenHornet]

When riding in very desolate areas what do you do regarding food and water? How many miles do you ride per day on average, with all your gear.

[@ridewithdanusa]

With this setup I was able to carry typically 4 days of food and water in these areas. I typically didnt need more than 2 days of supplies at a time. My travel would vary but averaged about 40 miles.

[@The-GreenHornet]

@@ridewithdanusa Thanks for the reply.

[@draper2310]

What can I do to help Dan?

[@TrentSiggard]

Dan is about to finish his ride through 48 states that took nearly 3 years. Follow him @RideWithDanUSA
