A really good read is "Miles from No Where," by Barbara Savage. The author writes about her and her husband's bicycle adventure around the world. On a whim, they decided to use their house savings on travelling around the world on bikes, and they didn't even ride bikes that much in the first place. Its a wonderful story, and the author writes it well.

Thanks for the recommendations for "Helf on Wheels", etc....I'm always looking for a good read when it comes to adventure or bicylce related books.

Happy riding!
