OK bike book fans, here's a challenge. About 15 years ago I read a book about a bike ride across America and I'd love to read it again. I can remember 2 things about it. 1st is that it was a really good well written 1st person travelogue, and second is that there was a chapter where he meets another cyclist who used to be a pro. They ride a while, and it turns out the other chap used to be on a pro team, and was a barber in his other life. He gave up the cycling because it made his hands tremble and he took the decision to keep his long term career over his love of bikes. When they parted company he cut the hair of the writer to perfection.

Name that book...
