Roamin’ Wyomans

The Roamin’ Wyomans were a couple from Evanston, Wyoming, who organized and embarked upon a six-year, worldwide bicycle tour. Sarah Lee and Stewart Shipman began their journey in 1987 when they flew to Hawaii. The trip ended with a bicycle ride from Miami, Florida, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where they were met by the state’s governor and the news media. The Roamin’ Wyomans financed their trip with personal savings, work during their travels, and subscriptions to a newsletter they published with help from a desktop publisher in Cheyenne.
