:- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Tom Bilcze -- More than a story of a man on a bike : Stephen John Peel drew me in with the book's title, A highly unlikely bicycle tourist. This book spoke to me, an nontraditional cyclist, and a person with a history of obesity and heart disease. “I had always felt that we didn’t live once; we died once, and we had to make the most of every day we lived.” This sentence says a good bit about the author’s philosophy on touring as well as life. I feel the same. ( Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Uhf -- You won't learn much. : He rode, bled, ate, camped, and repeated. If his personal problems aren't more than you want to know, and you don't mind dangling participles, then pull up a hard chair and read away. You will be rewarded with a few laughs, some colloquialisms you wish you hadn't read, and some time lost for something more educational. This is a hardcore, no sightseeing cycling diary that'll talk Thorn Cycles Nomads with Rohloff Speedhubs and opine the suitability of 26"ers for 300 pounders who eat 6 eggs at a sitting and are surprised by the amount of rain it takes to maintain green lush landscapes. If you expect to learn anything about local art, architecture, geology, history, culture, food, points of interest, bike maintenance, visas, sim cards or campground guides for the countries visited, this may not be the book for you.

- 2.0 out of 5 stars from JPA -- Admiring the author for taking on such astonishing challenge! : I enjoyed reading about the adventure and was greatly impressed by the sheer determination of the writer but was disappointed by the writing style. ( Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Excellent book : I really enjoyed reading this book, because of the writers style..better yet his personality . He seems like a regular kind of fellow, picking the fun and direction that he see fit, not someone else. This guy really enjoyed his ride I think. It wasnt all.about goals and mileage, it w as about having a good time. ( Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021 )

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Stewart -- Legend : Great book. The author reveals himself little by little while tackling his journey despite considerable physical impediments. I greatly admire his accomplishment. ( Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Wonderful Book : I read a lot of long-distance cycle touring books and this one is up there with the very best of them. The author overcame a lot of physical, mental and health obstacles to complete his tour. He also broke some of the "unwritten rules" of cycle-touring which deserve to be broken anyway: There's no harm in returning home for a short break to deal with health or family issues. Having your partner fly out to spend some quality-time with you is a great idea. Most touring books have a common theme where their author had rear-wheel trouble due to broken spokes. Attending a wheel-building course was a master-stroke. I found myself reading this book slowly, just to make it last a little longer. I hope that the book inspires other people to ignore their own weight/age/ability issues to enjoy riding their bike. Excellent story from a very brave man.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- An enjoyable, immersive and unputdownable read : I've read many, mostly good, cycle touring books and had it in my head that this would be similar to those. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kevin -- A real cycle journey. : I love this book.I'm about 85% through on Kindle and will be dissapointed when I get to the end. What seems to make this book stand apart from others of the same is the author isn't a super human- 100 miles a day sleeping in drains under the road but is an ordinary bloke with lots of aches and pains and is happy doing 30 or 40 miles a day. It's obvious Stephen did a lot of research into gear needed for the trip and I like the way he will drop some stats in to keep us gear junkies happy. It isn't just about flying through countries and ticking them off but some nice detail of the good,bad and ugly and the people he meets on the way. I really like the style of writing and it flows nicely. Of all the cycle travel books that I've read and I think I've read most on my Kindle this is the journey that I could relate to that might be possible for your average Joe and Josephine. Thanks for the journey,Stephen. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 21, 2020 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Nick the Geek -- Couldn't put it down- a great read!! : What an achievement, and what an excellent read. This is a book about ultimate freedom- just getting on your bike and going... wherever you want to go. And making up your route as you go along, allowing it to take you half way around the world! I really admire the author's attitude, and when you consider all the extra challenges he surmounted, it was an incredible journey. If you like travel books at all, read this!

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Mr. Kelvin Griffiths -- Very exciting account : A very exciting account of a man's obsession with riding a bike to excess. Starts one day in Cheshire and he just keeps going and going until he finds the end of his road! ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2021 )
