However, they also decide to undertake it by recumbent bicycle.
Customer Review: Amazing adventure through Russia
If you’re into cycle touring, as I am, or just love a real life adventure story, this is the book for you. These two guys set out to cross Russia in the dead of winter and did it. Unbelievable hardships, funny encounters, innovative trials and errors, arguments, ups and downs. This story has it all.
A testiment to the human spirit, and a warning: Don’t try to cycle across Russia in the winter. Hard enough in the summer.
