Not just a travel book; not just a bicycling book; not just a history book; nor a tale of great danger & courage, but, a little bit of all of these. Alan Thompson has written an account of his year-long world bicycle tour with a casual wit & a history teacher's eye to the treasures of the past. Filled with historical anecdotes & a wide-eyed wonderment at the great beauty & sadness of our world, this is one cyclist's story of his ONE TIME AROUND. It is a tale with its share of exceptional moments such as a helicopter's ride over a Bombay prison camp, or undergoing a surgeon's scalpel in a New Dehli hospital clinic, or sailing unknowingly through an international incident of terrorism. But even more, it is a story of the day-to-day joy, frustration, exhilaration, & apprehension of a solo world cyclist - a unique story that captures the reader's attention & does not willingly let go.
