Author event: Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle along­side monarch butterflies on their annual migration.

Virtual author event!Gibson&#x27;s Bookstore presents author Sara Dykman as she virtually presents her story of her 9-month, 10,000 mile journey, traveling by bicycle alongside thousands of monarch butterflies on their annual migration across the continent, in <a href="https://www.gibsonsbookstore.com/book/9781643260457" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,201-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration</a>.Outdoor educator and field researcher Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle along­side monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration—a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts. Her panniers were recycled buckets. In Bicycling with Butterflies, Dykman recounts her incredible journey and the dramatic ups and downs of the nearly nine-month odyssey. We’re beside her as she nav­igates unmapped roads in foreign countries, checks roadside milkweed for monarch eggs, and shares her passion with eager schoolchil­dren, skeptical bar patrons, and unimpressed border officials. We also meet some of the ardent monarch stewards who supported her efforts, from citizen scientists and research­ers to farmers and high-rise city dwellers. With both humor and humility, Dykman offers a compelling story, confirming the urgency of saving the threatened monarch migration—and the other threatened systems of nature that affect the survival of us all.Event harassment policyWe expect all participants to maintain an atmosphere of respect and fairness. Anyone who violates this standard of behavior, including engaging in any form of harassment, or otherwise disrupts the event, may, at the discretion of the organizers, be immediately removed.
