Customer Review: I’m a sucker for cycling touring books
I’m a sucker for books about touring by bicycle, particularly about folks who are crazy enough to do it with kids. A good book, fast read, interesting viewpoints. If I had a criticism, it was that the dialog sounded too good to be true in some places. Kind of like, “that’s what I MEANT to say or wish I had said, whether or not I actually said it.”
That’s a minor nit, though. My hat’s off to the author and his wife (and the parents of the kids) for giving these middle-school-age kids the experience of a lifetime.
Customer Review: seems self-published
can’t remember why i had put this on my list, but my husband placed an order and this was waiting in the cart, so…
this book is LONG, and seems like it didn’t really have an editor. i like the idea, which is of some kids and two adults biking around the us.
