This book tells the story of a retired couple taking the long way
home from San Diego, California to Melbourne Beach, Florida. It is
a tale of adventure, teamwork, and faith; a story of how two
retirees went outside their comfort zone putting themselves in
positions where they had to rely on strangers that just seemed to
pop-up at the right time. They met people they would have never
seen whizzing across America in a car. Along the way, a cowboy,
state troopers, EMTs, preachers, a bike racer, an Emmy winner, and
a lot of friendly people crossed their path. Of course, dogs often
came to greet the bike riders pedaling past. Crossing America at 15
miles per hour while stopping in every small town in their path,
Frank and Helen saw a very different country than one they have
experienced driving at 70 mile per hour on the interstate highway.
This is an account of a couple married 35 years working together as
a team to accomplish a shared goal. Their adventure riding bikes
for hours on empty roads through wide open spaces shows how shared
experiences can change lives. It is the authors hope that this book
will inspire others to step out of their comfort zone and risk
taking the long way home.
Curves is the ultimate high-quality journeyman's magazine. Produced
with love and aimed at all who drive, bike or cycle with passion,
it encapsulates the joy of the open road. It is a magazine for
those who see planning a journey as an act of celebration: people
who are prepared to shake off their shackles and live their dreams.
It is designed for the devotees and dreamers who experience the
drive in their mind's eye before even embarking on the real-life
adventure. This volume focuses on Scotland: its meandering roads,
its hilly heights, the breathtaking bleakness of its countryside.
Text in English and German.
Since 2003 the International Association for the History of
Traffic, Transport and Mobility (T2M) has served as a trade-free
zone, fostering a new interdisciplinary vitality in the
now-flourishing study of the History of Mobility. In its Yearbook,
Mobility in History, T2M surveys these developments in the form of
a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of research in the field,
presenting synopses of recent research, international reviews of
research across many countries, thematic reviews, and retrospective
assessments of classic works in the area. Mobility in History
provides an essential and comprehensive overview of the current
situation of Mobility studies. This volume has a special section on
Bicycling, thematic articles on the electric car, tourism, and
waiting as a part of mobility, and review articles organized
geographically across 5 continents.
