Take A Seat Ride Across America
On Dominic's first Take A Seat project from Alaska to Argentina, he met one elderly gentleman by the name of Ernie Greenwald, in Lompoc, California. Ernie was once a keen cyclist, but Lymphocytic Leukemia and old age had seen to it that his dream of cycling cross country was all but forgotten.
Now with a wealth of experience cycling a tandem, Dominic set about planning a journey from LA to New York, in which they would cross the country together. Sadly, a worsening of Ernie's condition beat him to the starting line and he was never able to make the journey. However, in Ernie's honor, Dominic crossed the country with 10 intrepid individuals, each with a disability that would make a leg of this journey impossible for them alone. Take A Seat: Sharing a Ride Across America was aired on NBC Universal Sports in April 2011. Click here to view trailer
