Thanks to advances in bike technology and the ease of international travel, cycling adventures on any scale are more accessible than ever before.

Each chapter presents a text section on uncoated paper, featuring specially commissioned illustrations aby Chris McNally, followed aby a photographic album printed on art stock.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Overland żeby Bike • 1.
