Over 100,000 miles to cover, one man, one bike and one hungry
stomach. Having created his alter-ego, the Hungry Cyclist and with
thousands of pedal-powered miles before him, Tom Kevill-Davies
pushed off from New York City on one of the most ambitious
gastronomic adventures ever undertaken. A ballsy travel memoir The
Hungry Cyclist follows Tom's adventure into the hearts and minds of
the people he meets. Revealing the diverse cultures of the
Americas, Tom's journey from over the Rockies to Baja California,
through Central America down all the way to Brazil via Colombia,
gives the real flavour of this truly extraordinary landmass. This
is a tale of death-battles with squadrons of mosquitoes, malodorous
public toilets, of galloping dysentery one day, to drowning your
sorrows with cowboys and dining with beauty queens the next. But
above all it is an ambitious story of getting to where you want to
be - even if you have to endure cactus-induced punctures,
unforgiving desert heat, uphill struggles through never-ending
cocaine plantations, or artfully dodge hungry bears, neurotic
RV-driving Americans, angry rabid dogs and run-ins with local law
authorities in the process. An amazing tale of what can happen when
you get on your bike and go.
