OK, so my mother gave me this book several weeks ago and I started reading it a couple of days ago. It is all about this bike fanatic building his dream bike. It weaves in stories of his touring adventures (he has cycled on every continent and around the globe in terms of miles!) and his life which has revolved around 'the bike.' It is terribly interesting, especially since I will be living "life" on my bike for 37+ days starting next Wednesday.
More on this as I read...
