The Man Who Cycled the World
Autor Mark Beaumonten Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2011
On the 15th of February 2008, Mark Beaumont had pedaled through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris—194 days and 17 hours after setting off in an attempt to circumnavigate the world. His journey had taken him, alone and unsupported, through 18,297 miles, 4 continents, and numerous countries. From broken wheels and unforeseen obstacles in Europe, to stifling Middle Eastern deserts and deadly Australian spiders, to the highways and backroads of America, he’d seen the best and worst that the world had to offer.
He had also smashed the Guinness World Record by an astonishing 81 days. This is the story of how he did it.
Told with honesty, humor, and wisdom, The Man Who Cycled the World is at once an unforgettable adventure, an insightful travel narrative, and an impassioned paean to the joys of the open road.

Recenzii
A fascinating tale of determination and discovery, and a gripping, emotional ride through the peaks and valleys of the mountains and the human spirit.” - Dean Karnazes, ultra endurance athlete and New York Times bestselling author of Ultramarathon Man
“120 years ago, the idea that it was even possible to bicycle some 20,000 miles around the world captivated the public’s imagination. What would they think about Mark Beaumont and his modern mount, completing the journey not in two or three years time but in less than two hundred days? The Man Who Cycled the World delivers a fast-paced, lively account of this extraordinary achievement, infused with insights and humor.” ߝ David Herlihy author of The Lost Cyclist and Bicycle: The History
"Cycling enthusiasts and readers of such varied books as Joe Kurmaskie's Metal Cowboy (1999), Tim Moore's French Revolution (2002) and Robert Penn's It's All about the Bike (2011) will definitely want to check this one out."--Booklist
"Racing aficionados and armchair racers seeking freewheeling glimpses of the world via bicycle will cherish the trip."--Kirkus Reviews

Descriere
When Beaumont set out to cycle the world he was 24, eager but nave, with no real idea of what the journey would require of him. By the time he returned, triumphant, a world-record 194 days after he began, he had been changed completely.
