A FUN BOOK TO READ!

I thoroughtly enjoyed reading 28 Days Behind Bars. Wagoner knows how to bring things to life with words. It was as though I were right there with him throughout his tour.


What a trip!!!

Reading this book was like driving by a car wreck - you know you probably shouldn't keep looking, but somehow you just can't stop. First the good stuff: Harold can ride. Bigtime mileage. Everyday. He also appreciates nature and doesn't let things like wind & rain bother him too much. Now the downside: while the guy claims to work in a missile factory, he's no rocket scientist. Heavy drinking, fast food gluttony, lechery, and latent bigotry were all mildly amusing if somewhat annoying, but his ignorance of bike mechanics was just plain hysterical.
I definitely admire the guy for his feat, and I admit the book was entertaining in a Jerry Springer kind of way, but if this guy can sell a book for $23.95, in the words of Al Pacino,"Somethin's really wrong here!"

Will Rogers on wheels!

Bravo to Harold Wagoner for both an amazing feat and a great story. A must read for any touring cyclist or for anyone interested in the triumph of the human spirit. Wagoner details his 28 day ride from Seattle to NYC dispensing self-deprecating humor and homespun wisdom along the way. Wheel wobbles, headwinds, tailwinds, crosswinds, bears and bees can't stop him, nor can the roadside Sirens he encounters along the way. His eating habits provide an instant cure for anyone concerned about their diet. A heart-warming and life-affirming tale, well told.






A EXCELLENT BOOK!

I have just finished reading Wagoner's book and I LOVED IT! It is the best bicycle touring book I've ever read. It really is a first rate adventure. A must read for every cyclist.
