Description
“Originally published in 1985, this book has stood the test of time and is considered a classic of biking literature.” ― Library JournalMiles from Nowhere is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage’s sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists on their ten-speeds encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who ran them off the road, various wild animals (including an attack camel), rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly tested yet strengthened the young couple’s relationship and as their trip ends, you’ll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to jump back on their bikes and keep pedaling.Miles from Nowhere has provided inspiration for legions of modern travel-adventurers and writers.
