Brothers Rediscover Community Living on Recycled Bikes

Noah and Tim Hussin began peddling away from their big city lives last November and into the homes of Americans who are trying to rebuild sustainable local communities and economies.
After three years of living abroad, Noah wanted to come home and explore parts of the United States most people don’t know. Tim - an avid bike rider - has worked in multimedia journalism for years, and felt it was time to pursue a personal project with his brother.
They are now more than 1,600 kilometers from the east coast state of North Carolina, where they began their journey. Along the way, the brothers have met Americans who are living in eco-villages, on an urban farm and running sustainable businesses.
But photographer and filmmaker Tim Hussin says they are not just riding by. "You know, it's not like we are staying nearby in a hotel or something, and just, you know, visiting everyday or every other day. We are actually sleeping in their houses and eating breakfast with them. So, we have very much become a part of whatever we are documenting," Hussin said.
They are documenting their experience through film and photography, and a blog, which incorporates local music of the places they have visited.
Noah says their journey began at a member-owned bicycle shop in Asheville, North Carolina , where they made their bikes from recycled parts.  Brothers Rediscover Community Living on Recycled Bikes
