A two-wheeled journey across the landscape of
America, and through the heart and mind of an
artist.
Eleanor Davis’s bike tour from Tucson, Arizona to Athens, Georgia
is a quest of epic proportions – not just geographically, which
it surely is, but inwardly as well. While facing off formidable
headwinds, drivers with reckless abandon, and screaming knee
pain, the author confronts an even greater challenge – her own
mind. Life on two wheels teaches her many lessons, and she narrates
them with keen observation and self-deprecating candor
through a series of funny, touching vignettes. Companionship
from fellow travelers and the generosity of colorful strangers propel
Davis along the open road. A tale of serendipitous encounters,
surprising friendship, perseverance, and tenderness, Eleanor
Davis’s You & A Bike & A Road reveals the power, and truth, of
the most efficient mode of human transportation – a bicycle.
