Across Asia On A Bicycle

Across Asia on a Bicycle

by Thomas Gaskell Allen

In 1890, two young Americans embarked on an extraordinary journey around the world on bicycles. Their travels took them through remote and exotic lands, from Turkey to China, and their experiences provide a fascinating glimpse into a world that has long since vanished. This book is a classic of travel literature, filled with vivid descriptions of the people and places they encountered, as well as insights into the challenges and rewards of long-distance cycling.
