Steve_M Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I enjoy reading motorbike travel books - think Jupiter’s Travels by Ted Simon or Revolutionary Ride by Lois Pryce. I have a fair selection of titles. I’m looking for more books in the same vein. Any suggestions for other books linked to biking? Quote
Stu Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 @Steve_M I have moved this topic to bike chat as I think it will get more coverage here than the news section Quote

Tiggie Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Neil Peart has wrote a few which are very good. His first one (Ghost Rider) is a difficult read as its the story of dealing with the death of his Wife & Daughter in the same year. Certainly worth a go Quote
S-Westerly Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Read some excerpts of that on line. Hard on him. 1 Quote

Guest Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I really enjoyed Dan Walsh's 'These are the Days that Must Happen to You': These Are the Days that Must Happen to You: Amazon.co.uk: Walsh, Dan: 9781846053115: Books Dan was a staffer at Bike Magazine and took time out to make a round the world trip.

I endorse this recommendation- I read it during lockdown, loved it. Got Jupiter’s Travels for Christmas & I’ve already finished it, not hugely impressed & certainly didn’t do a lot to inspire me, where as the Dan Walsh book really had me thinking!! Quote
