'Like Magellan, this is a modern explorers journal the world-over, capturing a sobering and unapologetic close-up snapshot of the world and its cultures at a moment in time. They also reveal what it is like to inject Americans into foreign cultures and their shocking reactions to unexpected situations and challenges riding a bike together, where every inch leads to the unknown. Sandy and Marks frankness is refreshing, beautiful, funny and thought-provoking like the world itself.' - Kyril Plaskon, Author of Silent Heroes of the Cold War. 'Nothing can compare with expriencing the world from a bicycle seat,' say the authors. Cycle with The Stoker and her Captain, ordinary people who accepted an extraordinary challenge, pedaling a tandem 16,000 miles around the world with 200 others on a pioneering tour. Odyssey 2000. This is a memoir of determination, resourcefulness and courage, written with insight, candor and droll humor. As a cyclist, I am awed by the authors endurance; as a writier I appreciate their clear prose style. Whether your a cyclist, a sociologist, or a traveler, youll enjoy this!' Doug Northon, author of Code Word: Paternity.
