Life is a Wheel

That's the title of a beautifully written book by NY times reporter Bruce Weber about his 2nd US coast to coast tour at age 59, a trip that followed by 20 years his first tour across the country.

The book is about biking, of course, but also about America, relationships, aging, 9/11, and a lot more.

It's available on Amazon or your LBS which, in this case, means your Local Book Store. I recommend it highly!

My brother gave me this book before my son and I bikes the Pacific Coast Trail this summer.

It's a great read. Highly recommended to anyone who bikes and people who don't. Wonderfully written.
