inspiring!! 6 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I am a London Cyclist and have followed Josie's travels around the world, as well as reading her articles in the London Cyclist. She is a fantastic writer and a spunky woman. This book is funny, insightful and ends with an incident that would put the rest of us off travelling for life... but not Josie. She has inspired me to keep going after being hit by a car, and I hope she has affected many more people the way she has affected me.

Fantastic 7 May 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant book. Her observations are so honest and often very very funny. She is inspiring right up to the last page and makes you want to go and buy a decent bike and take off. Fantastic!!!

Taken Away 23 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Fab, brilliant easily readable anywhere, mine was in india really apt for some of the encounters she had. Brilliantly viewed and written. As a cyclist also found this most refreshing that my own cycling nightmares also happened to others! Everyone should read this.

Disappointing.
This was very disappointing. I love travel and adventure books especially about those who go it alone. Read more

The Wind in My Wheels
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is one gutsy little lady who has travelled the world on her bicycle and gives an excellent and explicit account of her travels. Read more

Save your money
I came to this hopefully, on the basis of the other reviews, but it's rubbish. Superficial, trite, occasionally racist; she is openly aggressive towards and dismissive of Americans... Read more

An inspirational Bikelogue
This is a classic. Josie Dew's effervescence, her ability to shrug off all kinds of difficulties, and her courage, make this an inspirational read. Read more
