Mark Richardson writes about cars and motorcycles for The Globe and Mail, and is the former editor of the Toronto Star’s Wheels section. He loves a good road trip, and has written books about riding and driving across North America: In 2004, he retraced the route of Robert Pirsig to San Francisco in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and in 2012, he drove the length of the Trans-Canada Highway to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It was first opened to Canadian drivers on the same day he was born, which kind of made the road trip a done deal.
