Publisher's Synopsis
Meet the three German Anias and blondes gone by on the way to a fairytale wedding in a wedding cake castle. Stories of cars being chased by bikes, the Rainbow Warrior's skipper, how sex, drugs and Rock and Roll just isn't on the menu in a tiny French village. Read of scary storms, Girl Guides disguised as Hiawatha and cud-chewing camels. Enjoy listening to the world's most opinionated author give out about bicycling as Buddhism, the industrial revolution, the decline and fall of the cinema and everything in between. Cycling is cyclical; prayer for body and soul. Smoothly spinning pedals sing out the Songlines. Like some high mountain Himalayan llama spinning prayer wheels or a buck naked aboriginal treading his sacred land. Travels in Time is a lyrical look at the world less travelled; going by at a pace less visited. A pedalling pace; a peace seldom found. A journey both literal and metaphorical. The actual by bike from Wales to Czech Republic and back; the metaphysical through memory and imagination. Journey through hypnotic peace along canals and down the Great Rivers during a wonderful hot summer to the World Capital of Surreal.
