𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗗: Man Travels Across America on Motorized Bike With Custom Trailer and Dog

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A traveler and clothing maker who goes by the name “Mushroom” spoke with Santa Monica Closeup at Palisades Park while stopping in Santa Monica during a cross-country journey with his dog, Rhapsody. Mushroom said he began the current trip in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and traveled south through Big Sur before arriving in Santa Monica. He described the journey as an attempt to “circle America” using a motorized bicycle and a large custom-built trailer that serves as both a mobile workshop and living space. He said the route could eventually cover about 12,000 miles and may take roughly a year to complete. According to Mushroom, he plans to continue east from Santa Monica through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. He said he expects to remain in Santa Monica through much of March while making clothing, selling garments, and gathering supplies needed for the next leg of the trip, including replacement tires and other equipment. The trailer, decorated with colorful artwork and “Spunco” branding, was seen set up near the sidewalk at Palisades Park with tie-dye shirts hanging outside for sale. Mushroom said he supports himself on the road by making and selling clothing, including shorts, jackets, hoodies, hats, and tie-dye items. He described his work as upcycled fashion, explaining that he takes apart used garments and rebuilds them into custom pieces. During the interview, he showed a pair of patchwork shorts he said took about 16 hours to make and said he typically sells such pieces for around $300, though prices vary. Inside the trailer, Mushroom was also seen using a hand-crank sewing machine, which he said he has relied on for custom garment work while traveling. He said the machine allows him to sew more efficiently than working entirely by hand. During the encounter, he was also preparing pizza inside the trailer using a pan on low heat. Mushroom said the bicycle is powered by a four-stroke, 79cc gas engine and that he built the custom trailer and hitch system himself. He said the setup presents ongoing mechanical challenges, especially with the rear wheel and spokes due to the weight of the trailer, the dog, and rough road conditions. He added that he performs most of the repairs himself. He identified his dog, Rhapsody, as his travel companion and said the animal accompanies him on the road as he moves from city to city. Throughout the stop at Palisades Park, pedestrians and cyclists passed by while Mushroom worked from the trailer and displayed his clothing. Mushroom said his work can be found under the name Spunco on YouTube and Instagram. He explained that the name refers to fabric being spun together and serves as the identity for the clothing and project he is building while traveling. Santa Monica Closeup continues to document the people, projects, and public-life moments unfolding across Santa Monica. #SantaMonica #PalisadesPark #StreetInterview #Spunco #BikeTraveler #nomadlife — ⚠️ 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 This video is protected by copyright and provided for personal viewing only.
