Briansride

A shiftworker, an old bicycle, and the road to Hong Kong

In 2008, a middle-aged airplane mechanic, stressed to the breaking point, took off from his California home and family to ride an old bicycle across America, and Russia and China; all the way to Hong Kong. No athlete, he struggles with the physical and mental challenges while immersed in the changing cultures. A boisterous unrestrained tale of the world's people, their lives, their struggles and generosity. And the discovery, that once lifted, the burdens we carry, are what centers us all.

Determination and will power

I truly enjoyed listening to Brian's Ride! Brian retired as a co-worker before I finished his book. This is such an interesting story and I now yearn for more details in many situations Brian found himself in. I can't believe he made it back alive and physically unscathed except for minor issues. Thanks to Brian for writing this book and allowing Audible play it. High five buddy!!
