Riding Outside The Lines: International Incidents and Other Misadventures with the Metal Cowboy-Fast Shipping

Description

Like a modern-day Don Quixote, Joe Kurmaskie—bike adventurer, writer, and twelve-year-oldboy trapped in a man’s body—wanders the world on two wheels, often with hilariousresults, in Riding Outside the Lines.

A jaunt through such far-flung locations asIreland, Australia, Mexico, South America, and beyond, here is a collection of taleswoven together with one central theme: the world is a much smaller place when youview it from the seat of a bicycle.

Whether he’s weekending in the buff after accidentallystumbling into a nudist colony wedding, knocking back red wine in tin cans with agun-toting ex–bounty hunter, combing the countryside in a quest to find the all-girlbagpipe squad he met in his dreams, or playing a rousing game of ice golf on thefrozen tundra, Joe Kurmaskie writes of his gonzo global trek in a spirit infusedwith insight, good humor, and optimism. Riding Outside the Lines encourages travelbuffs and armchair explorers alike to get on your bike and see the beauty of ourplanet and the colorful souls who populate it.
