Around the world on a bicyle
| Around the world on a bicyle |
This is a story of a round-the-world trip on a bicycle. Not only that, it was done over a century ago through countries
which were not always friendly towards foreign visitors. Needless to say, the bicycles used on this journey were
nothing like the ones we use today, especially when travelling around the world. All in all, this book is a great
reading, both in terms of the adventures encountered along the road and as a testimony to human will power and endurance.
