If successful, Avery will be the first person to complete the Greenway entirely on a unicycle. Although he will cross thousands of miles, his trip will have virtually no environmental impact on the atmosphere, plants, or wildlife on his route. Additionally, he wants to highlight the health benefits of cycling, and by doing so, to inspire others to use sustainable transportation whenever possible.

According to its website, the East Coast Greenway is a walking and biking route stretching 3,000 miles from Maine to Florida, connecting our nation’s most populated corridor.

The East Coast Greenway is designed to transform the 15 states and 450 communities it connects through active and healthy lifestyles, sustainable transportation, community engagement, climate resilience, tourism, and more. The Greenway offers a safe place for bicyclists, walkers, runners, and more — of all ages and abilities — to commute, exercise, and visit new destinations.
