Highway 50, "the loneliest highway" is a cool and beautiful highway, but that's a harsh route to take if you're biking.
To anyone reading this who's dreaming of taking a cross country bike trip, I'd suggest researching the "Bikecentennial" route which goes through Oregon and Idaho, rather than across Nevada. The distance between water refill locations isn't as long. Also, the John Day River valley is beautiful.
Source, biked across the US myself roughly the same time as this photo was taken: 1980.
