Recommendations for good bicycling books.......

[Smokey]

does anyone have any recommendations for good bicycling books about trips and experiences of the
authors? i'm not referring to the many "how to" books on the market, but ones similar to the late
barbara savage's "miles from nowhere". it's about an around the world tour she took with her husband
larry and is a great read for anyone interested in bicycle touring. thanks in advance to everyone
for their replies.

French Revolutions:Cycling the Tour de France by Tim Moore is an excellent read
- it is incredibly funny. I would laugh out loud whilst reading it.

Cheers, helen s

Not a book per se, but www.crazyguyonabike.com has 100 journals and counting.

comparable to miles from nowhere (i actually liked it a bit better).

I really like "Metal Cowboy", by Joe Kurmaskie. He is also a contributor to Bicycling magazine, and
I really like his postive outlook on life.

I'll add to that Jobst Brandt's tour reports of 40+ years' riding in the Alps, as well as Ken
Kifer's website:
