A man fondly relives a childhood memory. One day, while living in a hutong in Beijing, he returns home to find that his dad has purchased a shiny, new bike for work. He begs his father to ride it. When his father finally agrees, he races around the neighborhood to show off the bike. Before long, the boy gets careless. He rips his pants, lets his friends pile on like acrobats in the circus, and finally wrecks. Sheepishly, he returns the bike to his dad who stays up all night fixing it. The experience teaches him the value of the bike and instills a deep respect for his father.

Chris Smith left his Worcestershire home, but instead of cycling the routine twelve miles to work, he kept on pedalling. 13 months later he arrived in Beijing. This is the account of an epic quest to rediscover a misplaced sense of identity in which exhilaration and exhaustion trade positions against a backdrop of prodigious physical endeavour.

The Sky Is My Ceiling: Biking China's Border is Yu Juanjuan's personal account of her bike journey around China's border from 1987 to 1989 and in the process changed Chinese women's history. It took her two years to travel over 40,000 kilometers, (25,000 miles) to complete this trip, the distance being equivalent to the circumference of the earth. Starting from Beijing with four team members, three dropped out early, leaving her with only one-team member. For the majority of the 22 month trip she faced most of the diverse challenges ? the demanding terrain, the reaction from natives of cities and villages she visited, the wildly fluctuating weather, the need for funding, and those arising from the fact that she was a young woman ? alone. Since then, nobody has been able to duplicate her feat, man or woman. The strength of this remarkable woman's story? a product of the intersection of Communist and modern China ? result in a compelling richly illustrated book documenting the enormity of her success. Richly illustrated with over 150 images.

Michael O'Neal's "Being in Beijing: Buses Bikes and Beer," is a maddening, hilarious, death defying, and sexually frustrating account of one man's year long stay in one of the most populated cities on earth. Mike made it a point to engage as many people as he could on an almost daily basis, from the lovely campus co-eds, to the foreign-curious waitstaff of restaurants, to the toothless street vendors staked out on every corner of the city. Board crowded buses and trains with Mike where the rides are anything but boring through his eyes. Join him on his bicycle for pedals across town where he gets bounced off buses and cabs, and has head-on collisions with other cyclists and scooters. And walk with him through the many intriguing and historic sites in and around Beijing; The Forbidden City, The Summer Palace, The Llama Temple, The Temple of Heaven, The Great Bell Temple, and of course, climb with him up the Great Wall. Mike befriends all he meets, with a genuine affinity for the Chinese People, especially the store owners who kept him supplied with pijou (beer)! "Being in Beijing" is a raucous, rapid, rambunctious, and rascally ride that will have you laughing out of your recliner, and sometimes shedding a tear over touching moments of friendship and humanity. By the end of the book, Mike will be a friend of yours. You can almost hear him telling his stories, laughing with him, feeling his frustrations to the core, and being awestruck with the beauty and antiquity of Asia. As one reader wrote, "Thanks for the bike ride, Pal!" Escape with Mike to China. You and he will have a great time together!

This is the true story of two twenty-year-old Australians who travelled for fourteen months on recumbent bicycles from Russia, across Siberia and Mongolia, to Beijing. It is as much a story about perseverance, passion and belief as it is about the people and remarkable landscapes of Siberia and Mongolia. Tim Cope and Chris Hatherly are fearless adventurers, willing and able to open themselves up to everything from the voice of the steppe to the Russian villagers and the nomads of the Gobi desert. From this, they draw an often funny, moving and inspirational tale of living out a dream.
