Book Synopsis Pedalling to Panama by : Clive Parker
Download or read book Pedalling to Panama written by Clive Parker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-03-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clive quit his job as an accountant to fulfil a dream of cycling through Mexico and Central America. Pedalling through impressive scenery he ran out of water, suffered eye injury and had to get the bike fixed after a breakdown. In the heat of Mexico he frequently needed to stop for refreshment. This created ideal opportunities to chat to local people. He found the charm of Mexicans arresting, and their tales add spice to a colourful portrait of life in Mexico today. He chronicles the build up to a festival in San Cristóbal, where he spent nearly three weeks. At times Clive had doubts about his ability to carry on. A strand of optimism runs through the narrative, which helps him see problems not as obstacles but as something waiting for a solution. From Mexico he continued cycling through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Civil wars made Central America a no-go area for tourists for twenty years. There is eye-arresting poverty seldom seen in Europe. Now it is changing. Clive’s story tells of warm and hospitable people who are happy to talk about their experiences and views of the world. Even the police buck the popular image, as he finally arrived on the banks of the Panama Canal with a police escort, concluding in style a 7,000 kilometre journey through a little known but fascinating part of the world.” See clive's website www.cliveparker.co.uk "It is a wonderful read, giving a vivid picture of life in Central American countries. The writing style is crisp and punchy.......the effect is one of great immediacy. Recommended reading for anyone visiting Central America." Anne Mustoe, best selling author of A Bike Ride and other books.

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.

Download or read book Llama Drama written by Anna McNuff and published by Anna McNuff. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why take the shortest, most direct route through life, when you could choose the wiggliest, most mountainous one possible? Armed with a limited grasp of Spanish and determined to meet as many llamas as possible, Anna and her friend Faye set off on a 6-month journey along the spine of the largest mountain range in the world - the Andes. Beginning in the bustling city of La Paz, the duo pedal south - through dense jungle, across pristine white salt flats and past towering volcanoes, following the path of thundering glacial rivers to the snow-tipped peaks of Patagonia. Sleeping wild in their tents most nights, they endure 50-mph crosswinds and catastrophic crashes, and go head to head with one very determined saddle sore called Sally. By the time they make it to the southernmost tip of the continent, they have cycled 5,500 miles and ascended over 100,000 metres through the mighty Andes - equivalent to 11 times the height of Everest. Told from the seat of Anna's bicycle, Llama Drama is a witty and compelling account of life at its rawest and most rich. For anyone who has ever wanted to journey through the stunning natural landscapes of South America - this story is for you.
Book Synopsis Around the World on a Bicycle by : Fred A. Birchmore
Download or read book Around the World on a Bicycle written by Fred A. Birchmore and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic, once hard-to-find travelogue recalls one of the very first around-the-world bicycle treks. Filled with rarely matched feats of endurance and determination, Around the World on a Bicycle tells of a young cyclist’s ever-changing and maturing worldview as he ventures through forty countries on the eve of World War II. It is an exuberant, youthful account, harking back to a time when the exploits of Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, and other adventurers stirred the popular imagination. In 1935 Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great’s horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean. After a lengthy, unplanned detour in Egypt, Birchmore put his studies on hold, pointed Bucephalus eastward, and just kept going. From desert valleys to frozen peaks, from palace promenades to muddy jungle trails, Birchmore saw it all on his eighteen-month, twenty-five-thousand-mile odyssey. Some of the people he encountered had never seen a bike—or, for that matter, an Anglo-European. As a good travel experience should, Birchmore’s trip changed his outlook on strangers. Always daring, outgoing, and energetic, he now saw an innate goodness in people. In between bone-breaking spills, wild animal attacks, and privation of all kinds, Birchmore learned that he had little to fear from human encounters. That he traveled through a world on the brink of global war makes this lesson even more remarkable—and timeless.
Book Synopsis The Bicycle Diaries by : David Kroodsma
Download or read book The Bicycle Diaries written by David Kroodsma and published by . This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate researcher David Kroodsma dreamed of bicycling down his driveway in Palo Alto, California, and pedaling for months until he reached the tip of South America. When he finally planned his trip, he wanted more than just adventure; he also wanted to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on the countries he would explore. So he set out on a well-packed bicycle with a business card, a laptop, and an eagerness to share his knowledge. His project, Ride for Climate, caught on; he gave over 100 school and assembly presentations, garnered dozens of newspaper accounts of his journey, and appeared on international television. During nearly two years of travel, Kroodsma witnessed the world from a seat of a bicycle. He traversed unique ecosystems, coastline settlements, and glaciated mountains. "While biking," he writes, "no windshield protects you from the rain, heat, or wind, and no wall divides you from the people along the road." Countless people, from subsistence farmers to petroleum engineers, sheltered him and shared their stories. These experiences transformed and personalized his understanding of climate change, and in The Bicycle Diaries, Kroodsma shares these unexpected insights through a gripping travel narrative.
Book Synopsis A Bicycle Journey to the Bottom of the Americas by : George J. Hawkins
Download or read book A Bicycle Journey to the Bottom of the Americas written by George J. Hawkins and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-10-24 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remember when you were a kid and you got your first bicycle? After a few weeks of mastering the dynamics of balancing, steering, and pedaling, all at the same time hopefully, your father released his protective, steadying grip on the seat and you went wobbling off on your own. It was probably your very first taste of independence and freedom and you knew you liked that feeling very much. Few things in life have ever compared to that first solo ride. Almost 40 years after my first solo bike ride, I was able to recapture the excitement and passion of that momentous occasion when I pedaled out of Anchorage, Alaska bound for Tierra del Fuego-the very tip of South America. No matter that it was 17,500 miles distant and would take 3 years to get there I vowed I would achieve that goal if it took the rest of my life.

Download or read book Cycling Cuba written by Tomas Belcik and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CYCLING CUBA recounts a bicycle journey around Cuba Oriente. Contemplating bicycle travel in Cuba, to see Cuba by bicycle on your own, on a self-guided and self-supported trip, is an ideal way to see Cuba, whether traveling solo, or traveling with your spouse or a friend as opposed to any kind of organized travel, group travel above all. CYCLING CUBA is a stage-by-stage account of the journey and a full-color 802 photographs travel pictorial, a photo-essay, a documentary, and a guidebook with all the info you need to set out on much the same journey around Eastern Cuba as the author did. Start your trip in Holguin and ride to Gibara, a small sleepy fishing port and a place of historical interest. From Gibara, pedal a quiet highway along the bay, then cut across a remote agricultural back-country. The scenery is idyllic. Past Guardalavaca, ride up and down scenic hills until the road plunges downhill to the coastal plain and Banes. Riding through agricultural flatland of sugarcane, bananas, and scrubland with roaming cattle, you'll reach Mayarí, another pleasant town. Cycling the coastal road from Moa to Baracoa, you come across entire hillsides and shoreline flats carpeted in broken and uprooted palms, their trunks carpeting the landscape as if deposited there by design. Riding past river inlets and coves, you enter the remote, hurricane-battered, yet charming outpost of Baracoa, Spain's first colonial capital in Cuba. After you soak up Baracoa's charm, then take off to tackle the La Farola road, the highlight of your trip. Climbing and descending the winding mountain road, you traverse the lush mountains of the east and descend to an arid yet ravishingly beautiful south coast. As you pedal toward Playa Imias, cacti are the only sign of vegetation, but the coastal panorama in either direction is stupendous. Having your fill of the coastal scenery, you begin a scorching hot ascent into the arid interior, and skirting the Guantanamo Bay you arrive in Guantanamo. Another stage brings you back to the ocean at Santiago de Cuba. Then it's back inland. After a stop at the El Cobre sanctuary, Cuba's most sacred pilgrimage shrine, you climb again before you begin a gradual downhill to the plains en route to Bayamo. Following day, an easy ride, your last cycling day in Cuba, brings you back to Holguin. The narrative and the pictorial are based on a journey in January-February 2017, so in a pre-pandemic era. Fast forward to September 2020, and mainland Cuba, as most of the world remains shut to tourism. But Cuba announced it may reopen to tourism by the end of the year. If so, that would be great news to tourists from all over the world, including the Americans, because self-supported bicycle travel may be one way how to comply with the regulations in place under Trump administration. Things could change under Biden, but regardless who will win the elections in November, discover what's it like to travel in Cuba on a self-guided and self-supported bicycle tour. Aside from Trump and the pandemic, bicycle travel around Cuba Oriente will be much the same for some time after the pandemic. Cuba is changing, but slowly, and that's part of its appeal for you, the Cuba traveler. Written by an avid cyclist and a photographer, with many cycling guides to his name, an adventure and cultural travel professional with an architectural background and four decades of travel throughout the world, CYCLING CUBA provides an insightful background for a richer and more rewarding travel experience on this Caribbean island. Containing 802 photographs with informative narrative, cycling details of route stages and distances, a list of accommodations, and the route-related GPX cycling tracks you can download, the book promises to entice any intrepid or armchair traveler.
