Life is a wheel : love, death, etc. and a bike ride across America

Weber, Bruce, 1953- author.
Large Print 2014

Riding a bicycle across the United States is one of those bucket-list goals that many dream about but few fulfill. In 2011 at the age of fifty-seven, New York Times obituary writer Bruce Weber made the trip alone and wrote about it as it unfolded mile by mile. Now, expanding upon the articles and blog posts, Weber extols the pleasures of cycling and reflects on what happened on his adventure, in the world, in the country, and in his life.
