and set off to endlessly travel by bike around the world.

How We Traded Our Ordinary Lives for a Global Bicycle Touring Adventure
David Thomson (Oregon, USA) November 5, 2007
Adventure traveling with Tim and Cindie
This is a terrific adventure story. Tim and Cindie Travis have one adventure after another touring the world by bicycle. Unlike travel books that gloss over much of the trip to focus on a few highlights, this book gets you into the day by day travel adventure frame of mind. While several days might go by without a headline event, I loved following along and wondering what was around the next bend. The descriptions of people met along the way, and how they relate to Americans and foreigners in general are wonderful.

An Excellent Read and Source of Encouragement for Any Adventurer
A fascinating couple who have risked it all to step outside of the box and launch an adventure of a lifetime. An interesting perspective of life on the road on bicycles and the challenges met in countries across the globe. Worth the time to read even if you never leave your easy chair!
