When ex-headmistress Anne Mustoe gave up her job, bought a bike and took to the road, she couldn't even mend a puncture. 12,000 miles and 15 months later, she was home. Her epic solo journey took her around the world, through Europe, India, the Far East and the United States. From Thessaloniki to Uttar Pradesh, from Chumphon to Singapore, she faced downpours, blizzards and blistering deserts, political turmoil and amorous waiters - alternated with great kindness from strangers along the way. A Bike Ride is the first in the series of Anne Mustoe's successful and inspiring travelogues.

"Martijn Doolaard traded in the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

“[Raschka's] marvelous sequences, fluid style, and emotional intelligence capture all of the momentum and exhilaration of this glorious accomplishment,” raves School Library Journal in a starred review. Learning to ride a bike is one of the most important milestones of childhood, and no one captures the emotional ups and downs of the experience better than Chris Raschka, who won the 2012 Caldecott Medal for A Ball for Daisy. In this simple yet emotionally rich "guide," a father takes his daughter through all the steps in the process—from choosing the perfect bicycle to that triumphant first successful ride. Using very few words and lots of expressive pictures, here is a picture book that not only shows kids how to learn to ride, but captures what it feels like to fall . . . get up . . . fall again . . . and finally "by luck, grace, and determination" ride a bicycle!

It's four o'clock in the morning. While others sleep, I'm quietly getting ready for my 75-mile ride. I'm leaving early to get ahead of the wind that, for the past couple of days, has tried to push us backward. But then, perhaps the wind was doing us a favor. It knew something that we didn't that was farther up the road. It's a bit eerie when you're being led by a little white light and see flashing red lights that read, - BEARS ON ROADWAY. STAY IN VEHICLE - But what about my vehicle? Was I supposed to stay in mine? My vehicle had already gone 2700 miles, with another 2000 to go. I had already survived being brushed by a truck, ambushed by a dog, and before my 4700-mile bike ride would conclude, I'd be looking into a face of a grizzly. It was all part of my summer in the saddle. A summer that began from my driveway in Richmond, Virginia that ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, that included 100-mile rides, grueling ascents, fast descents, sleeping in dugouts, arks, bleachers, and private homes, and best of all, meeting wonderful people along the way. It's amazing where a bicycle can take you.
