1 y separately published work icon Europe Over the Handlebars : One Brit, One Aussie, Four Wheels and Five Countries Steve Willis , Sydney : Broadcast Books , 2022 25449689 2022 single work prose travel "Steve and Jenny's enthusiasm and determination outweighed their cycling, map reading and foreign language skills, and them on an adventure across five countries in 90 days. It was 1984, well before the internet and Brexit, when cycling had yet to come a passion for 'middle aged men in Lycra'. But... riding was the cheapest way to travel, so Steve an Jenny took to the road - peddling up mountains, through medieval towns and along the byways of Europe. With humour and insight, Steve recalls a time when going 'off grid' wasn't an option for which you were charged extra. On their journey, they experienced ways of life very different from their own in London and Sydney. From the French and their love of food and life; the Italians, who seemed to hug everything and everyone in a passionate embrace; the Swiss with their well-ordered existence; the Germans, who closely resembled the British but with better beer; and the Dutch, whose capital, Amsterdam, had the sort of laissez faire attitude other cities could only dream about." -- Back cover.
