They expected snow, lightning, heat, and wind while bicycling cross country. That happened. They did not expect a car collision, a broken arm, or Hurricane Sandy. That happened, too. For thirty-two years, Marianne Worth Rudd dreamed about cycling cross country, almost as long as she’s known her husband, Terry. She thought the bike trip was about getting to the Atlantic. She discovered she was mistaken about both. Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast is her story of their 2012 cycling quest from the Pacific to the Atlantic, chronicling the challenges, joys, and surprises of their 4500-mile, twelve-week bicycle journey. Personal quirks became quirkier. Pain and grief unexpectedly seized the trip mid-way with a car collision and broken arm for Terry, but three months later, their quest resumed- on a snowy October day in northern Minnesota. From once coast to another, Marianne (Mari) and Terry experienced not only the changing terrain and state borders, but an elation far more gratifying than just reaching destinations—they discovered the curiosity and kindness of strangers, and the lasting impact. From simple gifts of root beer and oranges on a hot day, to shelter from a lightning storm and random invitations countrywide for meals and lodging, strangers offered unexpected generosity and care throughout their travels. Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast chronicles a transcontinental cycling adventure marked by challenge, resilience, and hope, and illustrates the outpouring of kindness and generosity from strangers across the continent.

In 1976 seventeen year old Tom Gray dreamt of pedaling coast to coast from New York City to San Francisco, a self-supported adventure into the unknown. Then responsibilities came; college, a family, a house, the burning in his gut to advance in his career. The romantic notion of seeing America from the seat of a bicycle, a dream that once drove a young boy, faded quietly into his adult past. Three decades later at forty-four he unknowingly walked into his office for the last time, a victim of corporate resizing. Shocked and questioning his self-worth, his termination put in motion events that would change him in ways he never expected. Not knowing it at the time, his wife saved him by rekindling the dream. It started with a call to CrossRoads Cycling Adventures and what followed was an amazing personal journey that tested both his physical and mental ability to survive nearly fifty days pedaling with other like-minded adventurers from Los Angeles to Boston. He embraced America at a slow pace; he engaged in lively conversations, and he discovered the "unique" in every town. Alone in the wide open he was free to let his mind drift and it was good for his soul. He struggled and he celebrated, but more importantly the boy in him awakened, and it was the boy who led him to the Atlantic. His story didn't end in Boston; it began there. His personal journey, his transformation to see the world through a different lens is why this cross country endeavor was so important. It wasn't about the bike; the bike was just a vehicle to finding himself.

'I rode back down the hill to the athlete's village. Some of Team Scotland had been watching on the big screen and I arrived to hugs of congratulations. I went inside for a shower and ceremoniously dropped my heart rate monitor into the bin. It was the first day of the rest of my life.' A little before 1.30 p.m. on Sunday 21 July 2013, Lee Craigie crossed the finish line at Cathkin Braes in the southern outskirts of Glasgow several minutes ahead of her nearest competitor to become the British cross-country mountain bike champion. Lee's win was the culmination of seven years of training and sacrifice, but it marked the beginning of the end of her competitive career; less than a year later, at the same venue, this time representing her native Scotland at the Commonwealth Games, she crossed the line and quit professional bike racing for good. Lee Craigie is one of Scotland's great bike racers, yet she has accomplished much more since retiring. In Other Ways to Win she tells her story of growing up near Glasgow and discovering the freedom of cycling – skipping French lessons and heading off into the Campsie Fells to see just how far she could ride. These teenage adventures established cycling as the thread which would run through her life – not only through her racing life and into a new life of two-wheeled adventure, but also through the positive impact she would have on the lives of others, particularly encouraging other women through her work with the Adventure Syndicate. Written with breathtaking honesty, she recounts epic adventures along the Tour Divide, Silk Road and the Highland Trail 550, and examines themes of friendship, loss, identity and the power of the outdoors – and, of course, cycling. Lee Craigie's story is a welcome reminder that there is more than one way to win at cycling – and life.

"Based on his popular series in the New York Times chronicling his cross-country bicycle trip, bestselling author Bruce Weber shares his adventures from his solo ride across the USA. Riding a bicycle across the US is one of those bucket-list goals that many dream about but few achieve. Bestselling author and New York Times reporter Bruce Weber made the trip, solo, over the summer and fall of 2011--at the age of fifty-seven. Expanding upon his popular series published in The New York Times, Life Is a Wheel is the witty and inspiring account of his journey, where he extols the pleasures of cycling and reflects on what happened on his adventure, in the world, in the country, and in his life. The story begins on the Oregon coast with a middle-aged man wondering what he's gotten himself into and ends in triumph on the George Washington Bridge, wondering how soon he might try it again. Part travelogue, part memoir, part paean to the bicycle as a simple and elegant mode of both mobility and self-expression--and part wry and panicky account of a fifty-seven-year-old man's attempt to stave off mortality--Life Is a Wheel is an elegant and entertaining escape for any armchair traveler"--
