Over the Hills: A Midlife Escape Across America by Bicycle
Having ridden across the U.S. by bike, I enjoy reading about the experiences of others who have done the same. Over the Hills: A Midlife Escape Across America by Bicycle by David Lamb is one of the better accounts. Lamb is a resident of Northern Virginia, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. After turning 50 he decided he wanted to ride cross country. Lamb was an out of shape smoker who rode around the neighborhood a few times before starting off. I didn't have high expectations for the book at first, but was rewarded for continuing to read to the end. He discusses the history of the bicycle and many statistics about bicycle use that make the account worthwhile.
