Summary
This is the story of Barbara and Larry Savage's sometimes dangerous, often zany, but ultimately rewarding 23,000-mile global bicycle odyssey, which took them through 25 countries in two years. Miles from Nowhere is an adventure not to be missed!
Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists encountered warmhearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who shoved them off the road, various wild animals (including a roof ape and an attack camel), sacred cows, rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly for two years tested and ultimately strengthened the young couple's relationship.
As their trip ends, you'll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to mount back up and keep pedaling. It's a story that makes you feel like you've grown right along with the author.

a remarkable story, this is what I would call a classic.
an absolutely fabulous tale of adventure.
writen well and set in what could be classed as the golden era of world travel and cycling touring.
the story is told well and narrated equally the same.
everyone should take the time to relive Barbara Savage trip and be apart of her journey she certainly tells it like you are there with her.

I loved every part of the story. It helped me to appreciate my relationship!!! I highly recommend listening to it , the fact it was written so long ago does not affect negatively in least extend the great value of the book.

Timeless classic
A beautiful cycling travelogue well read. Accents were sketchy, but that added to the charm.

EXPECTED BETTER
This could have been a great cycling epic. Spoilt by imperfect prose and strangling of the English language. Irritatingly read with overemphasis of the Americanisation of English words, example: YO-GURT; SHALL-EY (chalet); BICYCLERS (cyclists) and so on.
