Free-Wheelin': A Solo Journey Across America
Freewheelin' is the story of Lovett's solo transcontinental bicycle tour in the summer of 1986. His narrative combines descriptions of beautiful scenery and small - town America, with technical consider ations such as road conditions and elevations that are important to bikers. He also recounts meetings with fellow bikers, campers, and those hurrying along to various destinations. His description of local people, mostly friendly but sometimes hostile, does much to give a feeling of America today. Throughout, the author reflects on what he is trying to accomplish and how the trip is affecting his life. This book will be of special interest to bike lovers, but armchair travelers will also enjoy.- Marguerite Mroz, Baltimore Cty. P.L.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
