Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists on their ten-speeds encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who ran them off the road, various wild animals (including an attack camel), rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly tested yet strengthened the young couple's relationship and as their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to jump back on their bikes and keep pedaling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in 1983, \u003ci\u003eMiles from Nowhere\u003c\/i\u003e has provided inspiration for legions of modern travel-adventurers and writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAusten Weaver, Tara:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eTara Austen Weaver\u003c\/b\u003e writes about food, travel, culture, the environment, art, and adventure in its many guises.
