Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2014-02-05 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, Bradley Howard set off on a journey which lasted almost a month, which ran roughly 1,000 miles from the southern most tip of the U.K. to the northern most part of it. During his cycle, Bradley visited County after County, and he 'no-trace' camped every night of it. As if that wasn't enough, he took on many National Parks such as Dartmoor and The Cairngorms. Whilst on the tour, he saw many amazing sights including Lichfield Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle, and the Forth Road Bridge, and much more besides. Through his trip, Bradley kept a journal, which he has now turned into this book, to share his knowledge and adventures with others. In this book, he gives us his reflections on profound insights that came from his adventure, how he managed to live on a budget whilst being on the road, and how he kept himself fuelled whilst he still maintained his Vegan diet. Along the way, Bradley worked hard to tread in harmony with the environment. So pack your pannier bags, let's go on an adventure!
Download or read book Eat, Sleep, Ride written by Paul Howard and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Paul Howard, who has ridden the entire Tour de France route during the race itself—setting off at 4 am each day to avoid being caught by the pros—riding a small mountain-bike race should hold no fear. Still, this isn’t just any mountain-bike race. This is the Tour Divide. Running from Banff in Canada to the Mexican border, the Tour Divide is more than 2,700 miles—500 miles longer than the Tour de France. Its route along the Continental Divide goes through the heart of the Rocky Mountains and involves more than 200,000 feet of ascent—the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest seven times. The other problem is that Howard has never owned a mountain bike—and how will training on the South Downs in southern England prepare him for sleeping rough in the Rockies? Entertaining and engaging, Eat, Sleep, Ride will appeal to avid and aspiring cyclers, as well as fans of adventure/travel narrative with a humorous twist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated edition including new color photographs and a new afterword looking back at the journeyAlastair Humphreys' around-the-world journey of 46,000 miles was an old-fashioned adventure: long, lonely, low-budget, and spontaneous. Cycling across five continents and sailing over the oceans, his ride took four years to complete, on a tiny budget of hoarded student loans. Here is the story of the first remarkable stage of the expedition. Just two weeks into the ride the September 11th attacks changed everything. All Humphreys' plans went out the window and, instead of riding towards Australia, he suddenly found himself pedaling through the Middle East and Africa and on toward Cape Town. This book recounts an epic journey that succeeded through Humphreys' trust in the kindness of strangers, at a time where the interactions of our global community are more confused and troubled than ever.

But pick the wrong bicycle and your trip could be over before it has even had a chance to begin. The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a short, descriptive book designed to teach you about: The features, components and characteristics that are unique to touring bicycles. The five main styles of touring bikes. The different metals used in touring bicycle frames (and why they are so important). Words and definitions you should know before purchasing a touring bicycle.

Written by Bicycle Touring Pro, Darren Alff, The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book that every cyclist should read before purchasing a touring bicycle of any kind. This is a book for people who are totally new to touring bicycles - not a book for experienced bicycle riders. CONDUCT THE BICYCLE TOUR OF YOUR DREAMS The dream you are likely having involves going on a bicycle tour and having magical experiences you will remember for the rest of your life. Experiences so incredible you will tell your friends and family about them for years to come. The reality, however, might be that you never complete your bike tour, because you picked the wrong touring bicycle – a bicycle that wasn't built for the kind of bike tour you were participating in – and you were unable to return home with those magical memories you were hoping for. What many first-time bicycle tourists don't realize is that there are several different types of bicycles made for bicycle touring. There are touring bicycles made for short day trips around your home; fast, sporty touring bicycles made for racing and light touring; and an entire separate breed of touring bicycles made to carry you and your gear all the way around the world. Plus, there are bicycles made for all kinds of other types of bike rides (that aren't designed for bicycle touring at all). Let the Bicycle Touring Pro help you find your ideal touring bicycle! The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book designed to teach you about the different types of touring bicycles, their various uses, and most importantly – to help you select the right bicycle for the type of bicycle tour that you wish to participate in. With The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles, you will not only learn about what to look for in your next touring bike, but you will be given access to the world's largest collection of touring bicycles (included for free with this book)– a detailed directory where you will be introduced to more than 130 different types of touring bicycles made in various countries all over the world. From this database of 130+ bicycles, the author will help you narrow down your selection and find the touring bicycle that will help to make your bicycle touring dreams come true. The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles comes with three free digital bonus gifts (worth more than $25 USD): 1) A bonus eBook called “A Buyer's Guide To Bicycle Touring Panniers & Trailers” 2) An hour-long video recording where the author speaks at great length about touring bicycles, panniers and trailers. 3) And access to the world's largest touring bicycle database (where more than 130 touring bicycles are shown in great detail with their name, photo, product description, price and more).
Book Synopsis Corona # Lahn # German Cycle Tour by : Peter Vornberg
Download or read book Corona # Lahn # German Cycle Tour written by Peter Vornberg and published by via tolino media. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What motivated him to write this book, which sketches a number of formative moments in his life, was his fascination with people and nature. Every time we start for a trip, we leave the real world in our homes behind us. We want to forget it while being on the way, want to gain new energy for whatever is awaiting us when being back home again. Since Corona, however, the world looks completely different. Or doesn`t it? Peter Vornberg describes in this book a fictive character, who travels on his bike from one camping ground to another one as a person, who appears to be troubled by problems that are tearing at his soul, but still can enjoy the beautiful things around him. The moments in the life he talks about are surreal, truly presented, full of humour and unsparing. The touring biker succeeds in facing the upsetting experiences in his past and momentary life relentlessly during the five-day tour and thereby summoning new strength for his further life. Three cheers for our hope for a better future!

Download or read book The Wild Atlantic Way and Western Ireland written by Tom Cooper and published by Cicerone Press Limited. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 318 pages.

Book excerpt: The Wild Atlantic Way is a driving route along Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, covering over 2,350km of coastline and showcasing the region's breathtaking landscapes. This guide adapts the route for cyclists - and throws in a couple of other highlights (such as the Aran Islands and Killarney) for good measure. Since relatively few people are likely to have seven weeks to spare for a full Wild Atlantic Way tour, the book presents six self-contained cycle tours, each offering 7-10 days of riding. For the full Wild Atlantic Way experience, these distinct routes can be linked together into a 44-stage trip from Derry/Londonderry to Cork. Each route includes detailed advice on accommodation and facilities, plus optional detours and shortcuts and points of interest. The routes themselves are presented as 'route cards': ideal for use with a cycle computer, these pages provide 'at a glance' information for when you're on the road, covering navigation, facilities and local highlights. The guide covers all the practicalities - including transport, equipment and general tips on cycling in Ireland.
