This is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile global bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Miles from Nowhere is an adventure not to be missed!

Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists encountered warmhearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who shoved them off the road, various wild animals (including a roof ape and an attack camel), sacred cows, rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly for two years tested and ultimately strengthened the young couple's relationship.

As their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to mount back up and keep pedaling. It's a story that makes you feel like you've grown right along with the author.

I’m sure it was quite an achievement to take the decision to go on a big trip, flying into different countries and exploring them by bike in the late 70ies and turning the travel notes into a book. Unfortunately, I found it neither particularly insightful for those that may want to pursue such a quest on their own (other than planning to eat every 2 hours), such as mentioning the required budget, the distance traveled or the average speed used for the planning, nor did it manage to transmit the culture or landscape of the places visited. So it is mostly a personal account of the people met, the physical pain and relationship issues that they encountered, which wasn’t all to interesting to me so I skipped ahead after Morocco. Even for Tahiti, one of my personal favorites, it doesn’t mention much more than that it was possible to steal from the lunch buffet of a hotel on the island.
