| pacific coast highway bike tour: The Art of Cycling James Hibbard, 2021-06-03 A meditative love letter to the sport of cycling, THE ART OF CYCLING traces the journey of a former professional racer regaining his love for the sport and shows how cycling can shed new light on age-old questions of selfhood, meaning, and purpose. Interweaving cycling, philosophy, and personal narrative, THE ART OF CYCLING provides readers with a deep understanding into the highs and lows of being an elite athlete, the limits of approaching any sporting pursuit from a strictly rational perspective, and how the philosophical and often counterintuitive lessons derived from sport can be applied to other areas of life. Accessible to everyone from the hardened racer to the casual fan, THE ART OF CYCLING engages the history of thought through the lens of cycling to undermine much of what is typically thought of as intellectual, breathing new vitality into life, and countering society's obsession with progress and drive towards the abstract, detached, and virtual. |

| pacific coast highway bike tour: 50 Shades of The USA: One Woman's 11,000-mile Cycling Adventure Through Every State of America Anna McNuff, 2020-09-14 Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist, Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11,000-mile journey on her own, through each and every state of the USA. Dodging floods, blizzards and electrical storms, she pedals side by side with mustangs of the Wild West, through towering redwood forests, past the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and on to the volcanos of Hawaii. Along the way, she meets record-breaking grandmas, sings with Al Green at a gospel service and does her best to avoid becoming a grizzly bear's dinner. 50 Shades of the USA is a down-to-earth, heartfelt and hilarious account of an adventure through a country well-known, but far less well-understood. It is a stunning tale of self-discovery told through the eyes of a woman who couldn't help but wonder if there was more to life, and more to America too. |
| pacific coast highway bike tour: Life Is a Wheel Bruce Weber, 2015-03-17 Based on his popular series in the New York Times chronicling his cross-country bicycle trip, bestselling author Bruce Weber shares his adventures from his solo ride across the USA. Riding a bicycle across the US is one of those bucket-list goals that many dream about but few achieve. Bestselling author and New York Times reporter Bruce Weber made the trip, solo, over the summer and fall of 2011--at the age of fifty-seven. Expanding upon his popular series published in The New York Times, Life Is a Wheel is the witty and inspiring account of his journey, where he extols the pleasures of cycling and reflects on what happened on his adventure, in the world, in the country, and in his life. The story begins on the Oregon coast with a middle-aged man wondering what he's gotten himself into and ends in triumph on the George Washington Bridge, wondering how soon he might try it again. Part travelogue, part memoir, part paean to the bicycle as a simple and elegant mode of both mobility and self-expression--and part wry and panicky account of a fifty-seven-year-old man's attempt to stave off mortality--Life Is a Wheel is an elegant and entertaining escape for any armchair traveler-- |

| pacific coast highway bike tour: Miles From Nowhere Barbara Savage, 1985-01-31 * A well-loved, classic tale of adventure * Read this and you'll find yourself recommending it to friends again and again This is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000 miles global bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Miles From Nowhere is an adventure not to be missed! Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who shoved them off the road, various wild animals (including a roof ape and an attack camel), sacred cows, rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly for two years tested and ultimately strengthened the young couple's relationship. As their trip ends you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to mount back up and keep pedaling. It's a story that makes you feel like you've grown right along with the author. |

| pacific coast highway bike tour: Big Sur Jack Kerouac, 2011-04-26 A poignant masterpiece of wrenching personal expression from the acclaimed author of On the Road “In many ways, particularly in the lyrical immediacy that is his distinctive glory, this is Kerouac’s best book . . . certainly he has never displayed more ‘gentle sweetness.’”—San Francisco Chronicle Jack Kerouac’s alter ego Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance. In the words of Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur “reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion.” |

| pacific coast highway bike tour: Breathtaking Paula Holmes-Eber, Lorenz Eber, 2022-05-15 Carrying one stuffed elephant, six panniers and two tents, Paula and Lorenz Eber set off from Athens, Greece on two tandem bicycles with their eleven year old daughter, Yvonne, and her thirteen year old sister, Anya. Their dream: to circle the world by bicycle, raising awareness of asthma and the world's desperate need for clean air. Pedaling in an unbroken line through Europe and Asia, along Australia and the South Pacific and then across North America, the Ebers promoted a carbon free, environmentally friendly way to travel, encouraging others to try new, more sustainable and harmonious ways to interact with new places and peoples. Breathtaking is the exciting, hilarious and inspiring true story of their adventures. Readers follow the Ebers as they raise their daughters around the world, teaching them to cherish and respect our environment and other cultures. School is conducted outdoors on mountaintops and in historic castles. Dinnertime consists of strange international foods cooked on a simple backcountry stove in a meadow. And the responsibilities of parenting have been expanded to include hunting for an English copy of the latest Harry Potter book and holding a memorial service for one of Yvonne's most treasured (and only) possessions: a Polish bunny thermos. But the journey is also a test of the family's strength and endurance. As the family pedals further and further away from home, they struggle to work together through increasing hardships. They face a 100 degree heat wave in Italy, drug smugglers in Russia, a snowstorm at the Great Wall in China, and even the bite of a poisonous molokau in Tonga. To succeed, they realize that the greatest challenge they must face is not the journey without, but the one they must undergo within themselves. |
